About Goldsmiths MAs
Practitioner-led, the MA in creative writing at Goldsmiths offers students the opportunity to work with a range of published writers (both staff and visiting tutors) who mentor and lead workshops. Graduates have gone on to have successful careers win numerous awards. Two of them (Ross Raisin and Evie Wyld) were recognised in Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists 2013 list.
A recent addition, the MA programme in Children’s Literature is ideal if you have an interest in the academic study of children’s literature, or work in education (e.g. as a teacher or librarian), publishing or children's media. It's also aimed at authors who want to create texts for children. The MA is taught mainly in the Department of Educational Studies at Goldsmiths, although those wanting to write for children or young adults will also study modules in the Department of English and Comparative Literature.
