MA Biography and Creative Non-Fiction

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MA 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time

Masters Degree Description

Literary non-fiction is currently undergoing rapid change and reformation. Instead of the old ‘cradle to grave’ narratives of well-known literary or political figures, our best writers are now experimenting with new forms and subjects. Nature-writing, the personal essay, food journalism, art criticism and memoir are all part of the exciting emerging mix. This MA programme is for anyone who wants to develop their own writing in any of these genres while studying at the country’s leading university for the teaching of Creative Writing. 

Entry Requirements

Open to applicants with a good Honours degree – UK BA (Hons) 2:1 or equivalent – in any subject. Special entry requirements include the submission of a sample of your biographical writing or creative non-fiction accompanying the application. Please visit UEA’s website for complete details.

We welcome applications from students whose first language is not English. To ensure such students benefit from postgraduate study, we require evidence of proficiency in English. Our usual entry requirements are as follows:

 

  • IELTS: 7.0 (minimum 6.0 in each section and 7.0 in writing)
  • PTE (Pearson): 68 (minimum 55 in each section and 68 in writing)
