Take advantage of Oxford’s global academic force by becoming the best creative writer you can be

From fictional prose to poetry, you’ll study a variety of texts from different periods in time. Through practical sessions, structured essays and more fluid pieces, we enable and encourage all students to express themselves creatively.

In our morning seminars, world-class tutors teach the techniques that all remarkable writers rely on to create engaging, dynamic works. Then, in our afternoon workshops, we encourage students to write their own stories and poems giving feedback at every stage on how to enhance and develop.

With no more than six students in a class, tutors are able to focus on students personally and give them the time and attention they need to thrive and take their writing to new levels of success.
