MA
Summary
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.
We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.

| Study type | Taught |
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
| Entry requirements | You should normally have an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree or above. Your qualification should typically be in a subject relevant to your chosen Masters course. In exceptional circumstances, if you don’t have the academic qualifications for the course, you may be considered if you can provide evidence of equivalent or professional artistic experience. |
