MA Creative and Critical Writing

The MA Creative and Critical Writing develops your abilities through a combination of creative engagement with prose and drama on writing and placement modules, and a critical study of literature.

The programme offers a unique placement module through which you will have the opportunity to gain practical experience as a writer in residence at one of the University of Liverpool’s partner institutions in the city. As a writer in residence in locations such as museums and galleries, you will be able to develop professional skills through activities such as writing in response to exhibitions, or running creative writing workshops.

You'll study modules from a wide range of choices offered by the Department of English and Related Literature and other arts and humanities departments. Some modules will take an interdisciplinary view, others will focus on a particular discipline. You'll also hone your research skills with dedicated training, and complete a research dissertation.
