Entry requirements
For international students
You must hold a UK honours degree (or equivalent), preferably with at least a 2:1 classification. Although your degree does not need to be in creative writing or a closely related subject, you will need some knowledge of creative writing to successfully complete this qualification, as the MA in Creative Writing assumes all candidates have the knowledge and skills usually acquired by pursuing this subject at undergraduate level. Please note that this is not a qualification for those who are just starting to write creatively.
*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
