International collaboration

The Master’s programme is hybrid: classes are held online, and three times a year you take part in a residency to work together with your fellow students in different interesting locations across Europe. This means you don’t need to relocate - you can follow the Master’s programme from your place of residence.

The three renowned writing schools with which we collaborate are:

• Escuela de Escritores in Madrid: the go-to place for Spanish literature. At this school, creative writing is explored in relation to today’s literary and societal context.
• Scuola Holden in Turin: established by author Alessandro Baricco. Renowned for its innovative, cross-media approach to storytelling.
• SRH University of Applied Sciences Heidelberg Campus Berlin in Berlin.

Residencies abroad

During these residencies, you will learn about:

• Deep mapping: exploring hidden local connections through narrative research.
• Community outreach: creating literary partnerships connected to the residency location.

Learn together, write together

You place each other’s texts in a broader context: historical, cultural and political. This will help you develop a more focused, European perspective on literature and on becoming a writer.
