MLitt in Writing Practice and Study offers students the opportunity of translating creative interests into a fully accredited postgraduate programme of study, with flexibility and individual needs built into its delivery. The degree has been created and is led by Professor Kirsty Gunn, an award winning international author whose work has been translated and published in a number of territories all over the world.

The MLitt in Writing Practice and Study is like no other available in the UK. It is distinctive in its approach and teaching, and highly engaged in the world of contemporary publishing, offering students the opportunity to meet with writers and publishers from around the UK and beyond and to take part in our varied and exciting range of literary activities, from performing their own work to being "showcased" at our Literary Festival.

The programme is taught by Professor Gunn along with poet Dr Jim Stewart, who teaches poetry and "Wordcraft", Dr Gail Low, specialising in publishing and book history, and Professor Aidan Day, whose modules teach close reading and analytical skills which are invaluable to creative writing practice.

In all, this is a programme that is varied in delivery and content, comprising four-hour writing workshops to seminars to individual tutorials, helping students develop practical, intelligent and highly creative methods by which they can approach their writing. Not only will they have achieved a range of finished work for assessment during the year but they will have learned about the details of publishing, finding agents, setting their work in a context and making the important connection between the scale and shape of their writing and their aspirations for it.

Each Module can be studied separately, or as part of a full degree or diploma that can be taken part time or full time.
