MA Creative Writing Supporting Documents
As part of our admissions procedure all applicants are asked to submit a personal statement and a portfolio of creative writing.
All applicants must submit a sample of 5000 words of their creative writing, this must be prose fiction (a section of a novel with a synopsis, a couple of short stories or a combination of the two). Please note that poetry, children’s fiction, journalism, screen- or playwriting are not appropriate submissions for this MA. Applicants must also submit a personal statement in which they discuss their current writing, ideas for future projects and place their work in the context of contemporary writing (no more than 2,000 words).
Please complete the supporting documents electronically in the box below and then upload to your online application. To do this, please log into the Applicant Portal using your username and password and follow the steps below:
- Under the My application section, click on the ‘Manage my applications’ button
