| One of the great strengths of the programme is its flexibility. MA English and 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. Cardiff has one of the largest media and creative-industry sectors outside London, including BBC Wales, ITV Wales, S4C, BBC Cymru Wales, the Western Mail and Wales on Sunday. MA English & Creative Writing is perfectly situated to draw on this experience. 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. It's completely up to you. All options are taught either full or part time. All teaching is done in the evening, full time on Mondays and Wednesdays, part time just one evening a week. Assessment occurs through a variety of approaches, including written assignments, annotated bibliographies, synopsis of creative work, poster presentations, reflective blog, seminar presentations, portfolio, and dissertation. |
