This programme is designed to meet the needs of committed students who are interested in exploring and exploiting their own possibilities as writers, and in critically examining their own writing. It is unique in combining creative and life writing in a stimulating and enriching programme.
We examine relevant literary and cultural theory as well as the politics and practicalities of language and writing from the point of view of the writer.
Practitioner-led, the programme offers you the opportunity to work with a range of published writers who visit the College to give readings and lead workshops.
Visiting writers have included William Fiennes, Jackie Kay and Aminatta Forna. Poetry Masterclasses have been led by Sharon Olds, Les Murray, Derek Walcott and C K Williams. We also expect to draw fully upon London’s rich tradition as a converging point for culturally diverse literary practices.
Our graduates have gone on to have successful careers as writers and have won awards including the Guardian First Book Award, the Eric Gregory Award, the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award, and the Dylan Thomas Prize. Two of our graduates (Ross Raisin and Evie Wyld) were recognised in Granta's Best of Young British Novelists 2013 list.

There are three main components of the Masters:
There will be two core modules: a two-term workshop in creative and life writing, and a one-term Contemporary Contexts for Creative and Life Writing seminar module.
Workshop in Creative and Life Writing
All students attend this two and-a-half-hour compulsory workshop – part-time students attend in their first year. In the first term you will be encouraged to experiment with a variety of genres in creative and life writing, and then in the second term to develop your individual interests in poetry, fiction, autobiography and biography, or perhaps a fusion of those genres.
Each term you submit a piece of your own writing together with a critical account of how you have structured and developed it. Presentations of your work to other students with an account of your aims and approaches form an additional important element.
Some workshops will be taken by visiting writers, introducing you to a range of practices, concerns and techniques. The workshop also enables you to debate issues raised in the Contemporary Contexts module in relation to your own practice.
Contemporary Contexts for Creative and Life Writing
This is a two-hour seminar module, made up of informal talks by visiting speakers, followed by a seminar. These talks might be by practising writers, biographers, critics or philosophers (from both outside and inside Goldsmiths).
Our notable visitors have included Ali Smith, A L Kennedy, Daljit Nagra and Jon McGregor. Wide-ranging topics have included: the role of the writer and politics; writing the self; the relationship between contemporary fiction and biography; the relationship between fictional and non-fictional autobiography; writers and their readers; the publishing world; contemporary ideas about language; gender and writing.
In both the Contemporary Contexts module and the workshops you will be asked to consider works by significant contemporary writers in relation to your own writing practice. Assessment is by a critical essay on a writer or literary issue. Full-time students take the Contemporary Contexts module in their first term and part-time students in their second year.
Tutorials will be offered at regular intervals during the year (12 in all).
Options
You also choose an option module lasting one term. Full-time students take the module in the second term, while part-time students take it in the second year (second term). You can choose from a specialist workshop in fiction, poetry or life writing, or an option from the list of MA options offered by ECL including topics such as European Avant-Garde, Postmodernist Fiction or Re-writing Sexualities.
Assessment
Assessment is by the submission of four pieces of writing of 5,000 words each – either an essay, or, for workshops, a piece or pieces of creative or life-writing – plus a critical account of how you have structured and developed your work. You will also be assessed on a portfolio (maximum of 20,000 words) containing a piece or pieces of creative or life-writing together with a critical account of how you have structured and developed your work. In all cases, the number of words applies to prose.
Graduates of this programme include Tom Lee, Lucy Caldwell, Ross Raisin, Amy Sackville, Rohan Kriwaczek, Evie Wyld, Sara Grant, Naomi Foyle, Bronia Kita, Lijia Zhang, Ashley Dartnell and Suzanne Joinson and the poets Emily Berry, Andy Spragg, Kate Potts, Jack Underwood, Abigail Parry, Anthony Joseph, Katrina Naomi and Matthew Gregory.

The 21st century is witnessing an unprecedented growth in technological innovation, across all business sectors.
Today’s business professionals are required to have a strong understanding of how technology and innovation must meet with the demand for technology driven products and/or services.
Yet, the majority of business undergraduates lack the necessary educational background that would allow them to fully understand how emerging technologies open the way to new business opportunities. Likewise, graduates from engineering lack the necessary business background that would enable them to focus their innovativeness and skills in economically sustainable ideas for new products and/or services.
This course simply lays the bridge for the two disciplines to come closer.
Our Department of Marketing in Strathclyde Business School and the Department of Design, Manufacturing & Engineering Management (DMEM) in our faculty of Engineering, have collaborated to develop a masters level programmes to bridge this gap.
The course comprises two teaching semesters. Semester one consists of the core classes, namely Brand Management & Product Strategy, Strategic Marketing, Innovation Management and Financial Implications of Innovation.
In semester two there is the opportunity to focus on specific topics that may be of interest to individual students.
The semester comprises four electives coming from Marketing, namely Marketing Research, Export Marketing, Services Marketing and B2B & Key Account Management; and four electives coming from Design, Manufacture & Engineering Management, namely Strategic Supply Chain Management, Management of Total Quality & Continuous Improvement, Design Methods and Supply Chain Operations.
As a student studying this course, at this stage you will need to combine two classes from Marketing with two from DMEM in such a way that the resulting set of the four electives will best fit your career vision and plans.
During the second semester, together with another three to four of your colleagues, you'll have the opportunity, as a group, to get involved in the Marketing Works projects.
The two departments supporting this course pull together their resources and substantial links with industry to secure opportunities for the students to get involved with a real-life problem facing a company.
During this project, under the supervision of one of the lecturers in the course, your group will act as a “consulting agency”, will meet with the customer and receive briefing and then work together to prepare a realistic and efficient solution to the customer’s problem.
This is a unique experience that will enable you not only to use your newly acquired knowledge and skills in practice but also give you a better understanding of the challenges laying ahead after graduation.
Upon successful completion of all the requirements (taught classes, Marketing Works project and Dissertation) you receive a Master of Science in Innovation & Marketing Management.
This requires you to collect 180 credits. A Diploma in Innovation & Marketing Management is also available for students who manage to collect no less than 120 credits.
This is the only Masters course available in Europe that brings together the field of Marketing and Engineering in an integrated course that allows graduates to pursue a professional career in either direction with tremendous success.
Modules
Teaching will involve lecturing, case study discussion and analysis, in-class learning exercises and group tasks.
All classes (core and elective) will involve at least one guest lecture from practitioners to allow students to grasp the perspective from the real business world.
Where necessary and appropriate (for example “Marketing Research” class) students will also have to attend workshops to build the required practical skills.
Assessment will rely on class work and exams (for core classes). The latter will account for no less than 50% and the former no more than 40% of the students’ total mark. Final mark for elective classes will rely on an individual major assignment the students will have to submit.
