About this program
The Graduate Diploma of Creative Writing at Macquarie University is a graduate diploma. The focus is on developing their creativity and writing skills, and to provide expert training if students are aiming for professional publication. Students are encouraged to experiment, hone their writing proficiency, and develop a technical vocabulary for critiquing their own work and the work of others. Specialist units in the degree engage with novel and short story writing, literary and popular fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction (such as memoir, writing about place, personal essay), and manuscript development. The graduate diploma shares its curriculum with the corresponding master's degree at Macquarie University and can articulate into that degree.
