Program Overview

Find out how creative and critical writing belong together, and how the development of your own compositional practice (poetry, fiction or creative non-fiction) can be enriched by a wider knowledge of and engagement with critical and philosophical thinking.

Our MA is driven by the sense that creative writing is profoundly enhanced and transformed by a knowledge and appreciation of critical and philosophical texts. This course, the first of its kind in the UK, has been flourishing for some 20 years. It is integrally linked to longstanding intellectual traditions of 'Sussex English’ in:

  • Creative writing
  • Psychoanalysis
  • Marxism
  • Ecocriticism and environmental writing
  • Postcolonialism and neocolonialism
  • Deconstruction
  • Feminism
  • Queer theory.

Our faculty includes critics, poets, novelists and creative non-fiction writers of international standing. Your teaching is underpinned by the interdisciplinary research carried out in the Centre for Creative and Critical Thought.
