ENGL6137 2027-28
Creative Project
This is the culmination of your MA programme. It gives you the opportunity to carry out a sustained piece of writing independently, and bring to bear the ideas, skills, and insights that have been learned on the programme. You will do this under the guidance of a supervisor who will meet with you at three times during the project, and read a draft of the final work in time for a period of revision. The final submission will include extended discussion of a technique, critical issue, literary genre, or piece of research explored in the creative submission. -

Creative Skills Workshop
The Creative Writing Skills Workshop is the heart of the Creative Writing MA. It is a supportive, exacting space for mini-lectures on craft, guided group feedback, and individual mentoring.
It is a two-semester module that runs weekly. All students on the MA Creative Writing take part in this workshop.
The Workshop is based around close reading of a current draft of your work-in-progress, seeking to develop it in keeping with your aims as a writer. Through this, you will be encouraged to develop your awareness of the contemporary literary scene, and a deepen your understanding of genre.
You will also be encouraged to develop skills in critical reading and listening to the work of your peers. There will be in-class writing prompts, focussed homework exercises. All students will meet with their tutor for one-on-one mentoring during the semester. -

Creative Technologies 1: coding
In this module you will explore principles of programming and creative production for innovative technological applications. Using accessible platforms including block-based coding, simple robotics and front-end web design you will work on exercises that will quickly develop your technical skills and allow you to experiment with creative ideas. -

Creative Technologies 2: environments
In this module you will build on your technical and creative practice in programming to explore the possibilities of applied and pervasive computing. Through workshops you will experiment with hardware and material systems that might include wearable tech, locative applications or simple robotic or Arduino systems. You will consider the social and ethical implications of creative technical systems and applications. -

Creative Thinking and Problem Solving
The module been designed for the purpose of promoting and developing creative thinking and problem solving (CTPS) skills and addresses the need for individuals and teams who can ‘think outside the box’, and apply fresh thinking to practical, ‘real world’ problems. The module programme begins by examining the nature of creativity and the characteristics of creative people. It then proceeds to look at what blocks us creatively, and strategies for preventing or breaking through such blocks. The concept of ‘lateral thinking’ will be introduced together with processes for applying lateral thinking to problems that require creative solutions. You will be introduced to a variety of creative problem-solving techniques and approaches to use as ‘tools’ for re-interpreting problems, finding solutions and generating ideas. Practical demonstrations, exercises and task simulations will enable you to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of these creative tools and the capacity to re-apply them or facilitate their use to generate concepts and ideas. -
