The MA Creative Writing Poetry at the University of East Anglia is designed for aspiring poets who are ready to deepen their craft and engage rigorously with poetic form, theory, and practice. You will explore the vast landscape of poetry, from historical movements to contemporary innovations, and develop your unique voice within a supportive, intellectually stimulating environment. This postgraduate degree is ideal for those seeking to push the boundaries of their writing, understand the critical and creative methodologies underpinning poetry, and prepare for a life dedicated to the art form.
Studied full-time on campus over one year, this Masters programme immerses you in intensive creative writing workshops focused on poetry, alongside modules in research methodology and the critical analysis of poetic traditions. You will engage with texts from diverse literary traditions, including East Anglian Literature and Process and Product in Translation, and work towards a substantial dissertation that will form the core of your poetic output. You will graduate with a portfolio of work, enhanced critical understanding, and the confidence to pursue publication and a career within the literary arts.
