Creative Writing Postgraduate Taught Degrees

Study Creative Writing at postgraduate level in a supportive, research-informed environment. You will explore a range of forms and genres, which may include fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction and experimental writing, while developing your own distinctive voice and practice. 

Your writing will be shaped through workshops and seminars that encourage an independent creative practice alongside critical reflection.

At Bangor, Creative Writing is underpinned by critical and contextual study. You’ll learn to reflect on your own work, engage with contemporary writing and literary traditions, and understand how creative texts are shaped by cultural, historical and theoretical contexts. 

This balance of practice and analysis helps you develop as a confident, reflective writer with a strong sense of purpose and direction.

Bangor University offers a unique setting for creative study. Located in North Wales, the University is surrounded by dramatic coastal and mountainous landscapes that provide an inspiring space for reflection and focus. 

You'll study in the University’s Main Arts Building, a Grade I listed building that reflects Bangor’s strong humanities tradition. Alongside this historic setting, you’ll benefit from modern learning spaces that support creative and collaborative work.

As a Creative Writing student at Bangor, you’ll join a close-knit and encouraging community of writers. Workshops are designed to be constructive and supportive, helping you to share work, exchange ideas and develop confidence in your writing. 

You’ll be guided by academic staff who are experienced writers and researchers, offering expert feedback and supervision as you develop your creative career.
