Creative Writing and Publishing MA

Kingston University

All the teachers in my course are always available to help you out or answer any questions. However the process of applying, paying fees, and all the managing is not too friendly towards students.

Library!! Access and modern feeling of library is a huge help in my studies! Kingston library provides everything you need for the studies, as well the space and fact that there rae 4 different buildings with library is amazing!! I can always find quiet place to study! With great staff support and equipment! New library in the main campus is breathtaking!!! Kingston university could improve in terms of more extra mini courses, for example it would be great to study different language for few months and then receive some type of diploma at the end. Or study music as an extra to your studies for 6 months, they could do it with all creative subjects. Such as fashion, design, art, drawing, writing, drama and music. I would love to learn to play music instrument without necessary studying as a whole degree, the same as fashion, it would be great to expand skills in designing clothes without having to do whole degree. More of an extra mini study where at the end you get some type of small certificate. It could be charged small fee that wouldn’t be too much for students, I believe it would be great opportunity to develop your hobbies.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my first semester at Kingston and am excited to see what my life at this University will be like in the future.

Everyone on my course is very welcoming and I feel very supported by staff. My only complaints are that my commute is long which makes it difficult for me to get up on days when I have an early start since I have to change my sleep schedule.

My course has been amazing and the faculty has really listened and been receptive to our feedback throughout. They've been able to cater the course to our needs and help us to get the most from our time at Kingston. I wish there was a bit more integration between campuses. I'm technically a KSA student, but because we're based at Penrhyn Road we've never had an induction to the facilities at the Knight's Park campus and we've perhaps missed opportunities to experiment with our own creative practice.
