Presencial
This programme is offered either full and part time basis.
Literary non-fiction is changing in exciting ways and this is your chance to be a part of it.
Instead of the old ‘cradle to grave’ narratives of well-known literary or political figures, our best modern writers are now experimenting with new forms and subjects. Nature-writing, the personal essay, food journalism, art criticism and memoir are all part of the exciting emerging mix.
So if you want to develop your own non-fiction writing in any of these genres or one of your own, this MA programme is for you. You’ll study on one of the only dedicated non-fiction MA courses in the UK at the country’s leading university for the teaching of Creative Writing. This enables you to graduate with the best grounding possible for a successful and fulfilling literary career.
