MA in Creative Writing

Harness the power of language and develop your distinctive voice as a writer.

Why this MA?

It was Hull where Philip Larkin lived and worked at the University's Brynmor Jones Library for 30 years, writing most of his best work. A seafaring city that connected outwards and brought some of the exotic back to northern England.

Embracing Hull's global-facing outlook, MA Professor and accomplished author Martin Goodman describe the University's MA Creative Writing as an inspiring and collegial environment for online students who want to develop their distinctive voice as a writer.

Taught by academics who are published writers, you will expand your reading of literature, navigate literary circles and critique the work of your peers.

There is also the option to attend face-to-face events, as you seek public recognition and become a valued, active member of a vibrant international writing community.
