MA Creative Writing

The MA programme will enable talented and experienced writers to develop their craft through workshops, seminars and one-to-one tutorials and to complete, with the guidance of published writers, a dissertation in either creative writing.

The programme will also focus on contemporary writing and the literary marketplace.

The Master's Programme in Creative Writing produces an anthology of students' writing, called The Mechanics' Institute Review.  To take a preview, you can go to our website: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mir.

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. For more information about writLOUD, see www.bbk.ac.uk/writloud.
