Study
Our University's Creative Writing programme has a national and international reputation for developing the potential of some of the best writers in New Zealand.
We have built a strong workshop culture, reflecting our belief in the importance of nurturing individual voices within a lively community of writers.
Our programme features a range of specialised undergraduate creative writing workshops, as well as Master of Arts and PhD creative writing programmes.
