The MA Writing: Imaginative Practice distance learning programme offers students a unique forum for developing their work in a multi-disciplinary environment, from wherever they choose to study. The core of the programme is the development of students’ writing through workshops, small webinars and online tutorials, and supervision towards a practice-based dissertation. UEL’s distance learning programme recognises the increasing demand from national and international students working across different genres (writing for performance, fiction writing, screenwriting) to develop their writing at a post-graduate level, leading to completion of an extended piece of work. Distance learning extends creative and critical dialogues far further than is possible for students who have to attend weekly lectures and discussions. By offering a multi-disciplinary, thematic approach, and by focussing student attention on new forms, technologies and “Writing for the 21st Century,” MA Writing appeals to students from a wide background of interests, and provides them with the diverse expertise of the participating faculty, allowing potentially unique creative output. Students benefit from cultural and creative perspectives that are truly global.
