Program Description

On this Master in Creative Writing (MA) degree course, students will study the genres that inspire them the most – from poetry and historical fiction, to screenwriting and crime – as well as genres they may not have explored, taking their writing in new directions.

They will spend plenty of time writing and reviewing work and benefit from the help and experience of expert lecturers. They will develop the confidence to become a better writer by learning to critique your own work, and that of your peers. There's even the chance to take up a placement at a famous literary magazine.

Portsmouth is ranked #6 in the UK for student satisfaction in creative arts and design in the 2024.

This Master in Creative Writing (MSc) will give students the tools they need for a successful career as a writer, or in fields such as publishing, media, and education.
