Entry Procedure and Requirements

You will normally be expected to have a good honours degree, and will be required to submit a portfolio of work to the admissions tutor. If it is considered of sufficient quality, the admissions tutor will pass it on to one of the creative writing tutors specialising in the genre chosen by the applicant. That tutor will then recommend an interview, on which the final decision will be based.

The online application form is here.

For further information please contact Professor Scott McCracken, the English Director of Postgraduate Admissions.
