Course Content
The core of the course is the development of students' own writing through workshops, small seminars and tutorials and dissertation supervision. In addition students select modules from a range offered by the department, such as Publishing (of the annual Mechanics' Institute Review); Currents in Contemporary Writing: Encounters with the Real; Life Writing.
The Master's Programme in Creative Writing produces an anthology of students' writing, called The Mechanics' Institute Review.
Students are eligible to take part in two extensions of the programme: writLOUD, a monthly readings event showcasing both new authors from Birkbeck's creative writing courses and established writers; and workshops on reading their work aloud in front of an audience.
