Writing in UCC
Creative writing students in 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork are encouraged to treat writing as a living, evolving practice, from fiction through to poetry and memoir. Students learn and develop their creative practice through a mixture of peer-engagement in workshop environments, the rigourous drafting and re-drafting of work and support from lecturers.
Our teaching staff consists of internationally published authors and poets. Students will work closely with our faculty as they develop their own creative practice and work towards writing to a publishable standard. Further to the core faculty, students will also have the opporunity to work with our writer in residence and learn from visiting authors, editors and creative practitioners. The major awards are the MA in Creative Writing and the PhD programme in creative writing.
