About This Opportunity

The Fulbright Manchester Metropolitan University Award covers one year of a master's degree in creative writing at Manchester Metropolitan University. The Manchester Writing School, established in 1998, is one of the largest and most successful writing schools in the UK. The School's Creative Director is Carol Ann Duffy (UK Poet Laureate 2009-2019), and she teaches alongside a team of distinguished writers and critics. The one-year MA and two-year MFA Creative Writing programmes help students develop writing skills through a blend of writing workshops and reading units. Taught by practising writers, the full-time, in-person course offers specialist routes in Novel (including Short Fiction), Poetry and Scriptwriting. The program seeks candidates with rigor in scholarly enquiry, strong reasons for pursuing the proposed project in the UK, a desire to gain a better understanding of the peoples and cultures of the host country, and commitment to community through volunteer and extra-curricular activities.
