Course summary

Overview

Develop your unique voice as a writer and storyteller in the context of the School of Performance and Cultural Industries’ outstanding research in the fields of contemporary performance practice, creative and adaptive writing, digital and intermedial art, audience studies and cultural policy.

On this Masters course, you’ll think critically about narrative and storytelling in contemporary culture, developing your creative writing skills and knowledge across a range of genres, forms and media. You’ll have opportunities to pursue areas of interest, including tailored pathways in writing for theatre, performance, screen and new media.

Our diverse but close-knit community of professional writers, creative practitioners, and innovative researchers is dedicated to developing new and emerging talent. You’ll be encouraged to test the limits of style and genre, and to explore how your work connects with our increasingly complex world.

Career opportunities

Many students will want to pursue a career as a creative practitioner, working as a writer for stage, screen or new media. Although this is a fiercely competitive field, this degree is designed to help you realise your ambitions by helping you to connect your creative and intellectual concerns to specific industry contexts and practices. You will be encouraged to explore writing across a range of different forms and media, developing skills that can be applied across both traditional and new media.

The course has established a powerful record for developing successful writers and creative leaders, from playwrights, television writers and dramaturgs, to performers, broadcasters and journalists.

Alternatively, you could use your additional experience and qualification to progress in your current career or pursue a related path within the creative arts. Many of the course’s alumni have gone on to work in education, arts administration, script editing, literary management, advertising, publishing, marketing, public relations and many other areas.
