At its core, the practice of creative writing is an act of inquiry—a rigorous exploration of human experience, identity, and the boundaries of language. The MA in Creative Writing at Northumbria University invites you to immerse yourself in this process, transitioning from an enthusiastic writer to a critical practitioner capable of professional-level output. Designed for those who seek to refine their voice and understand their place within the contemporary literary landscape, this programme balances creative freedom with the discipline required for publication.

You will work alongside a faculty of award-winning novelists, poets, and editors who are deeply embedded in the creative industries. The curriculum is rooted in a collaborative, workshop-based environment where peer critique and expert guidance help you navigate complex literary forms. Beyond the page, the programme bridges the gap between the classroom and the industry; through strategic partnerships with organizations like New Writing North and Live Theatre, you will gain tangible insights into the realities of the publishing world, professional networking, and the broader arts sector.
