About the course: It was overall a good experience, though I faced some issues with physics department. Parking was a concern, there is no provision to stay at home.I must say traffic here is miserable. Rest was ok, my University experience was ok. UK was woeful and I had a bad time due to all these reasons.

Course programme

This programme is directed at those who are already engaged in writing. Its clear three-part structure, focused on creative, critical and practical issues, distinguishes this programme from the others offered in the UK.

Taking the online distance learning MLitt full-time:

The programme structure covers:

Semester 1:

  • Creative workshops and guest speakers
  • Reading as a writer (CX1)
  • Copyright, publishing and the culture of reception

Semester 2:

  • Creative workshops and guest speakers
  • Experimentation (CX2)
  • Editing the twenty-first century: editorial project

These courses have been developed to:

  • allow you to experiment with a range of voices, techniques and genres alongside a consideration of major creative and editorial engagements from the modern through the contemporary period.
  • help you develop a critical understanding of diverse creative, theoretic and critical texts.
  • provide a space to undertake extended portfolios of creative and editorial work.
  • familiarise you with the writing context (audience, publishing in all its forms, the legal framework, modes of transmission);
  • And most importantly, to subject you to the discipline of regular writing by providing a stimulating workshop and tutorial environment in which writing skills can be acquired, discussed and honed.

Taking the online distance learning MLitt part-time:

  • Part-time year one: students take one semester of workshops and Craft and Experimentation both semesters, and have two tutorials.
  • Part-time year two: students take one semester of workshops and Editing and Publication both semesters, and have three tutorials.
