Study Details: Full-time: 12 months Part-time: 24 months
This course is designed across three semesters, with each class intended to develop not just the skills aspiring writers need, but the right skills at the right stage in their development. The structure of the MLitt gives writers the freedom to pursue their chosen forms and genres in terms of their creative work, while providing guidance and support in an academic context too. The staff team aim for a collegiate, supportive atmosphere – we aren’t just a writing course, we’re a writing community.
Strathclyde staff can offer specialist tuition in a wide range of genres including:
An upper second-class Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in any subject, plus a portfolio of creative writing.
