I will look into it. I like Scotland. |
U.E.A. is also well known for creative writing. |

If you are thinking about getting an MFA you really need to consider WHY you want to get an MFA. If you are a serious writer and want an environment in which you can interact with other writers and discuss the art/craft of writing, expand your thinking and and challenge yourself to become the best writer you can be, then an MFA might be a good fit.
However, if you are looking at doing the above mentioned AND undergoing a more rigorous academic course of study that will prepare you for university employment, you should probably look at creative writing MA programs with the intention of going on to a PhD program. While the MFA has traditionally been a terminal degree it has become more and more difficult in recent years to find employment with an MFA as opposed to a PhD, in fact many MFA's go are going on to complete PhD's. An MA and then PhD will take less time than an MFA and PhD. |
