We'll develop your core writing skills in a range of formats and explore how different writers work in different sectors. You’ll then choose two specialisms from options like Fiction, Non-Fiction, Scriptwriting, and Business & Editorial Writing, so you can build a portfolio of your skills. We’ll also look into using the web and social media to build a profile as a writer.
You'll then carry out industry-focused research, and we’ll encourage you to secure work experience to help you develop a proposal for your creative MA project.
