About the course

The University of Hertfordshire M.A. in Creative Writing offers you the opportunity to develop your creative, critical and professional writing skills in a stimulating and supportive environment.

Through writing workshops and intensive tutorial-based supervision, our teaching staff - all established authors themselves - will help you improve your own writing as you explore the advanced craft, theory and techniques of poetry, prose and drama.

Whether you have an unfinished novel you’re passionate about or want to learn how to write powerful dialogue or create memorable characters, this M.A. Creative Writing offers a range of modules that give you both literary context and practical professional guidance.

In all modules, you will be taught by lecturers who are leading writers whose work encompasses a wide range of approaches and styles and who bridge the gap between creative and academic approaches in their fields.

  • Wayne Holloway-Smith’s collection Love Minus Love was shortlisted for the TS Eliot Prize, and his poem ‘the posh mums are boxing in the square’ won the National Poetry Award.
  • Lorna Gibb has won the Granta Memoir prize and been shortlisted for the Sperber Biography Prize.
  • Joe Thomas’s most recent novel, Bent, was a Guardian Best Book of 2020 and picked by the Irish Times in their selection of the Best Crime Fiction of 2020.
  • Helen Gordon – a former editor of Granta magazine – has published the critically acclaimed novel, Landfall and a non-fiction book on nature and travel. Notes From Deep Time is forthcoming in 2021.
  • Simon Vinnicombe’s work has been produced at the National Theatre and The Old Vic in London, the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York, and on BBC TV and BBC Radio.
  • Drew Pautz’s work has been performed at the National Theatre, Soho Theatre, Hampstead Theatre, and on BBC Radio.

Guided by our staff, you’ll take two core Writing Workshop modules examining creative and critical processes in your first two semesters. These workshops provide supportive spaces for you to contribute your own writing, reading your work to your fellow students and learning, in turn, to critique their work from a writer’s point of view.

Other modules may change but could include Working as a Writer and People and Places. As part of Working as a writer, you’ll submit your work to magazines and creative writing competitions, helping you to gain a practical understanding of the publishing world and how to approach editors and prepare your work for publication.

People and Places focus on aspects of writing with communities, including the methods and approaches writers have used to portray communities or locations in creative work and the tradition of writers working with communities to create joint artistic projects.

In your final semester, you’ll complete a dissertation. This can take the form of a novel, script for stage, TV or film, a work of creative non-fiction, short story or poetry collection. Wherever your writing ambitions lie, this is your opportunity to add polished work to your portfolio and look ahead to your future writing life.

Entry requirements.

Normally, we require applicants for PhD study to be in possession of good honours degree (2:1 or above), and a Master’s degree, in a relevant discipline.

Months of entry

Course content

We welcome applications from postgraduate students interested in pursuing innovative research in Creative Writing. A Creative Writing thesis takes the form of an original full-length creative work and a critical work on a subject or subjects integral to the creative component. The critical work might take the form of a critical investigation of a related author or authors’ work or an investigation of the PhD’s candidate’s own creative practice and the practical or theoretical underpinnings of the creative work. The exact content of the critical element will be devised by the candidate with the support of their supervisory team.

The creative work should be a fully realised work of literature, whether in prose, poetry or drama. The creative work thus is research into creative practice and therefore makes an original contribution to knowledge. The two elements must be written side by side, as the research undertaken across the project will be crucial to both written documents.

A Creative Writing PhD often draws on other disciplines, so a PhD candidate may have a second supervisor from History, Media, Life Sciences, or any other discipline. Please contact staff to discuss the requirements of your particular thesis.

Our members of staff can offer supervision on a wide range of potential research projects. Please consult our Research Pages to learn more about particular areas of research strength and expertise within the Creative Writing group.

It is based on the research and completion of a research project in any field within these subject areas for which expert supervision can be provided.

Why choose this course?

  • You will be able to develop a substantial, original and creative research project with the help and support of academics who are active researchers and writers themselves.
  • You will acquire extensive subject expertise and independent research skills, honed over an extended period.
  • You will join a thriving School of Humanities and become part of a burgeoning research culture. As a postgraduate student, you are invited to attend and participate in regular reading series, seminars and international conferences hosted by the Creative Writing group.
  • All our students are encouraged to present work at national and international conferences and to submit their research for publication.

Information for international students

International students should have an English Language assessment of IELTS 7.0 with a minimum 6 in each section and 7 in writing, or equivalent as determined by the School of Humanities. Other English language tests are accepted. Please contact the International Office for details.

Fees and funding

Tuition fees are charged annually. The fees quoted above are for the specified year(s) only. Fees may be higher in future years, for both new and continuing students. Please see the University’s Fees and Finance Policy (and in particular the section headed “When tuition fees change”), for further information about when and by how much the University may increase its fees for future years.
