Explore and develop your craft with Oxford
Expert tuition and small class sizes
Our two-year, part-time Diploma allows you to strengthen your ability in four major areas of literary activity — prose, poetry, drama and analytical reading — as well as the chance to specialise in the genre of your choice.
There are two ways to study. The in-person pathway takes place on weekends in Oxford and offers a rich combination of seminars, one-to-one tutorials and group discussions. The online pathway with a summer school in Oxford, replicates the in-person structure, using a variety of media to offer a stimulating and challenging learning environment.
