MA
Summary

About the course Find out how creative and critical writing belong together, and how the development of your own compositional practice (poetry, fiction or creative non-fiction) can be enriched by a wider knowledge of and engagement with critical and philosophical thinking.
Our MA is driven by the sense that creative writing is profoundly enhanced and transformed by a knowledge and appreciation of critical and philosophical texts. This course, the first of its kind in the UK, has been flourishing for some 20 years. It is integrally linked to longstanding intellectual traditions of 'Sussex English’ in: - creative writing
-
psychoanalysis
-
Marxism
-
ecocriticism and environmental writing
-
postcolonialism and neocolonialism
-
deconstruction
-
feminism
-
queer theory
-
word-image theory and practice.
Our faculty includes writers of international standing working in diverse creative and critical genres. Your teaching is underpinned by the interdisciplinary research carried out in the Centre for Creative and Critical Thought.
About Sussex Our courses, research, culture and campus aim to stimulate, excite and challenge. From scientific discovery to global policy, from student welfare to career development, Sussex innovates and takes a lead. And today, in every part of society and across the world, you'll find someone from Sussex making an original and valuable contribution.
Location Study on our beautiful, green campus on the edge of the South Downs National Park and just minutes from the vibrant seaside city of Brighton & Hove. We’re near to Gatwick airport and just over an hour from London.
