In 2021-22, the Warwick Writing Programme is planning to offer the following MA modules. All module offerings and modes of delivery (face to face, online, blended) are subject to confirmation in accordance with the university's best efforts to reflect ongoing changes to government guidelines. While our aim is to deliver a predominantly face-to-face learning experience in 2021-22, some modules may be delivered online or in a blended format.

Students may also normally take at least one and sometimes two modules (please check with your MA Convenor) elsewhere in the Faculty of Arts.
