UEA Creative Writing...

The Creative Writing MA at UEA, the first of its kind in the country, was founded in 1970-71 by Sir Angus Wilson and Professor Malcolm Bradbury in the belief that there were -- and are -- a good number of young (and not so young) writers of originality and potential who would welcome the chance to develop their work in a postgraduate course within a university which emphasized the importance of contemporary writing. Since then the course has gone from stregth to stregth and has regularly produced writers who have gone on to become household names. Most years, the Booker Prize has a former UEA Student on its shortlist. Read more here.
