Course content

Our two-year, part-time MA will help transform you as a writer, giving you a deeper sense of the imaginative, artistic and intellectual opportunities and challenges involved in writing literary fiction. Practice-based workshops run alongside critical modules on contemporary literature, allowing you to develop a deep understanding of prose writing craft and fiction today.

Following in the footsteps of Sir Kazuo Ishiguro, Ian McEwan, Anne Enright, Tracy Chevalier and Ayobami Adebayo, among others, you'll study with an international cohort of exceptional writers, taught by an outstanding and committed faculty, alongside world-renowned visiting writers such as, recently, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Margaret Atwood, Ali Smith and Eleanor Catton.

You’ll be based in historic Norwich, England’s first UNESCO City of Literature. The vibrant literary scene on and off campus includes regular readings and events at UEA Live, the National Centre for Writing, Noirwich, Norwich Book Festival, as well as frequent talks and book launches. At the end of the course, your work will be published in an anthology distributed to key industry figures.
