Study an MA Writing programme within an arts university and work alongside creative minds and makers Complete live projects with our industry partners – past students have worked with Art on the Underground and the Royal Opera House Meet a wide range of practitioners, such as writers, editors, publishers and commissioners Writing is a part of the world, not just about it. At the RCA, we’re not looking for one type of writer. Whether you want to write for a mainstream audience or prepare for doctoral study, we’ll help you build the intellectual, literary, and technical skills you need for your future. Our students explore a variety of forms and subjects, often blending genres and approaches to create work that is both intellectually rigorous and poetically expressive. The RCA writing community The programme is designed to help you become the best possible version of the writer you want to be. We’ll encourage you to discuss other students’ work, think about what you’re reading, and listen to feedback on your writing. Not only will you leave the RCA as a better writer, but you’ll also leave us a better thinker. You’ll notice the world and be able to decide the best way to engage with it.
Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process will consider creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MA standards overall.
