Integrated Masters - Master of Arts (Honours) - English and Creative Writing

In this course students can study the history of English literature from the medieval period right up to the present day, and combine this with studies in creative writing.

A range of modules give students the option to study anything from Shakespeare to science fiction, Romantic to contemporary poetry, or Victorian novels to Hollywood films.

University of Dundee's creative writing modules help students explore and extend their own potential as a writer and engage you in a range of literary activities. Dundee's students write novels, stories, poetry, monologues, as well as exploring creativity in non-fiction, essays, journalism, reviewing, and writing for the theatre.

For English literature they start by covering topics such as how to analyze a poem and how to read a novel as a literary critic, introducing students to key skills in critical-creative ways of reading and writing. They will then move on to historical surveys of literature, before exploring in more detail many of the periods, movements, and topics previously covered.
