Master Creation Litteraire

For Master Creation Litteraire, tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

Master Creation Litteraire is a two-year master's degree at Université Paris 8 - Vincennes - Saint-Denis, in St Denis Cedex, France, taught in French with an inferred September start and a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Creative writing as an academic field trains students in the practice of literary composition across forms such as fiction, poetry, essay, and sometimes scriptwriting, combining regular writing workshops with the study of literary craft. Coursework typically includes workshop-based critique of student work, readings of contemporary and classic literature chosen to illustrate technique, and instruction in narrative structure, style, and voice. Students are usually expected to develop an extended piece of original writing over the course of the program, often building toward a manuscript or portfolio submitted as a final project. Alongside the practice of writing itself, programs in this field commonly address the broader literary landscape, including publishing processes, editing, and the relationship between a writer and an audience. Some coursework may also touch on adjacent creative fields, such as writing for theater or new media, depending on how a given program is structured. Graduates of creative writing master's programs pursue varied paths: some continue writing independently while working in publishing houses, literary magazines, or editorial roles; others move into teaching creative writing at secondary or university level. Cultural institutions, arts organizations, and media outlets also recruit graduates with strong writing and editorial skills, and a number of graduates go on to publish their own literary work following completion of the degree. The discipline places sustained emphasis on developing an individual voice through practice and critique.
