| One of the great strengths of the programme is its flexibility. MA Creative Writing can be studied either full or part time. Modules can be taken individually, allowing you to control the pace and depth of your postgraduate study. Programme delivery is enhanced by the university’s commitment to e-learning. The modules Short Story Writing and Novel Writing can be taken as a distance learning option. There are a number of ways you can undertake postgraduate study with us. If you wish, you can simply take individual modules (perhaps just one, or more, depending on your interest). If you wish to go further, you might choose to complete a Postgraduate Certificate (three modules chosen from a postgraduate programme). Further still, you might wish to undertake a Postgraduate Diploma (six modules from one of our programmes). Or you might wish to go for a Master's Degree, submitting a dissertation after completing the six taught modules. Throughout the year, you will be invited to attend theatre trips, poetry and prose performances held in Cardiff. The Department regularly invites external speakers in to give presentations and readings. |
