The MA Creative Writing program at Roehampton University is renowned for its longevity and innovative approach. Throughout the program, students have the opportunity to collaborate with established and successful writers who are dedicated to helping them advance their writing skills. Notable graduates from the program include Holly Pester, Rachel Knightley, and Nikki Dudley.
This year, the program has introduced two new modules to cater to the growing demand for diverse contemporary writing. Genre Fiction focuses on fantasy, horror, and crime writing, while Dark & Transgressive Writing explores erotic, hybrid, and dystopian fictions. These genres have gained widespread popularity, with fantasy, erotic, horror, and dystopian fiction finding their place in mainstream culture.
The program also offers long-standing modules such as Writing for Young Readers, Short Stories, and Novel writing. These modules cover various forms of writing and aim to help students produce compelling and contemporary work of publishable quality. The modules Creative Contexts and Archives and Research provide opportunities to position students' work alongside other contemporary writers and enhance their research skills. Additionally, students can develop their professional abilities by participating in modules like Copywriting and The Business of Writing.
A second-class honours degree is normally required as well as a portfolio of writing, consisting of approximately 2000 words of prose (Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Journalism) or 15 pages of poetry. If a candidate demonstrates sufficient skill and professional experience in writing, the previous degree requirement may be waived. Please upload your portfolio of writing on the online application form, which can be found by clicking the 'apply for the course' button.
