In the Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing (program 7325, plan code ENGLCS7325) students undertake 3 courses from those offered in the MA in Creative Writing program. Students who have successfully completed the requirements for the Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing may apply to upgrade to either the Graduate Diploma in Creative Writing (requiring a further course) or the Master of Arts program in Creative Writing (requiring a further 3 courses). The Graduate Certificate also provides a possible exit point for students who find they are unable to complete the MA (Pass) program due to changing commitments at work or at home. The program of study will normally be completed over two sessions.

The 24 units of credit may be taken from the following:

Qualifications for Entry

The normal requirement for entry to the Graduate Certificate within the School of English is a BA with a major in English or in a related area, preferably at Credit level or higher. The School particularly encourages applications from primary and secondary teachers. Our program includes new courses which deal directly with material relevant to the new HSC English curriculum. Applicants for the Creative Writing programs whose undergraduate degree is not in English may be requested to provide samples of their creative writing. Applicants whose first language is not English may be required to provide a sample of their critical writing in English. Applications from other appropriately qualified people to any of our programs will be considered on an individual basis. Entry to individual courses may be permitted at the discretion of the Head of School.
