Uea Creative Writing Alumni

Hey, I got postgraduate offers for University of East Anglia and Warwick for the creative writing course. UEA is MA Creative Writing Poetry While the Writing Program at Warwick is slightly different: you choose 5 different modules over two semesters ranging from non-fiction, children's fiction, eco-poetry, music, script etc.

There are currently also three School-funded scholarships, including the International Bursary (Prose Fiction), which is equivalent to a full-fees waiver.

The UEA International Literary Festival, a rolling program of writer events, has been running since 1992 and has regularly featured writers such as Margaret Atwood, Junot Díaz, Richard Ford, Joseph Heller, Kazuo Ishiguro, Doris Lessing, Norman Mailer, Ian Mc Ewan, Arthur Miller, Toni Morrison, Joyce Carol Oates, Grace Paley, Salman Rushdie, George Saunders, William Styron, and Kurt Vonnegut.

Run by Faber & Faber, these courses are run by well established writers, not academics, and you will come away feeling energised and enthused for writing rather than saddled with debt.

I know somebody who went to UEA for MA creative writing and she landed a job on television script writing team for along running tv series.

In recent years, many of our visitors have given private masterclasses for MA students.

UEA is situated in Norwich, England’s first UNESCO City of Literature, a designation that we marked with the creation of a Visiting Professorship that has been held by, among others, novelists Margaret Atwood and Ali Smith, dramatist Timberlake Wertenbaker, and crime writer Ian Rankin.This is the pre-eminent creative writing course in the country.As a result it can attract the best teaching staff rather than simply writers wanting pin money.Poetry: Tiffany Atkinson, Denise Riley, Sophie Robinson Fiction: Trezza Azzopardi, Amit Chaudhuri, Andrew Cowan, Giles Foden, Philip Langeskov, Jean Mc Neil, Henry Sutton, Naomi Wood Nonfiction: Vesna Goldsworthy, Kathryn Hughes, Rebecca Scott, Helen Smith, Ian Thomson Scriptwriting: Ben Musgrave, Molly Naylor, Steve Waters, Timberlake Wertenbaker The program offers full and partial funding.There are currently 11 donor-funded scholarships, ranging from a £1,000 fee waiver to the Booker Foundation Scholarship, which covers fees and living expenses to a value of £25,000.Would I be able to do the MA and then the NCTJ, or should I just do the NCTJ? Hi, I think I found this thread a bit late, but I am just wondering, which of the university did you pick?Because I also have recently applied to UEA also for MA in Poetry and I thought that if you are there, maybe you wont mind giving about the course.I used to work in publishing - I've read some of the output of these 'wonder courses', and on that basis, I wouldnt recommend them to anybody, not even the one at UEA.Have you looked at this as one possible alternative - (some are run overseas).I'll apply for internships and work experience regardless of where I go (and I've already got some), but it would be great if you could tell me other pros and cons that can help me choose.My problem is, there is plenty reason for both universities, as showcased on respective websites, but since I'm an international student, I can't exactly visit the two places, so most of my research is based on websites and forums.
