Students will learn in workshops, one-to-one or in small groups, with support from practising and published writers, and fellow students. Kingston's award-winning former creative writing students include Booker-shortlisted Oyinkan Braithwaite, Joe Pierson, who won the Bridport Prize, Stefan Mohammed, awarded the Dylan Thomas Prize, Bafta-winner, Sarah Woolner, the acclaimed poet Dom Bury and celebrated novelist Faiqa Mansab.
With a full programme of workshops and critical study, this Creative Writing MA offers students the chance to work on their own writing in different genres with the support of published practitioners.
The Writers' Workshop module will encourage students to develop their writing 'voice' through engagement with fellow students across a range of genres (in fiction or creative non-fiction), while the Special Study module enables them to specialise in one genre, such as fiction, non-fiction, poetry or drama.
This Creative Writing MA will give students the knowledge and confidence to enter the cultural debate and to begin to identify outlets for their own writing. Students will have the opportunity to contribute to Kingston University's publication, Ripple, which includes fiction, poetry, reviews and creative non-fiction and is edited by students on the course.
This course at Kingston University allow students to do a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The responsibility for finding the work placement is with the student; Kingston cannot guarantee the work placement, just the opportunity to undertake it. As the work placement is an assessed part of the course, it is covered by a student's Student Route visa.
