The International Institute of Modern Letters (IIML)
hosts Victoria’s Creative Writing programme, focusing on
contemporary imaginative writing. It offers both undergraduate
and postgraduate courses in Creative Writing. IIML graduates
are now among New Zealand’s leading contemporary writers.
Increasingly, they are also at the forefront of creative writing
development in the New Zealand tertiary sector and have a
growing international presence.
Undergraduate
Our undergraduate programme is based on a range of
specialised workshops which provide a forum for writer visits,
for the study of appropriate genre readings and for close
discussion of the ongoing work of class members. Each student
submits a portfolio of work for assessment at the completion of
any course.
The undergraduate courses in Poetry, Short Fiction, Children’s
Writing and Creative Non-fiction, as well as other Special
Topic courses, can contribute to a BA or be included in other
degrees by arrangement with the relevant faculty. Up to two
such courses may be included in an English Literature major,
provided not more than one is at 300 level. From 2013 a minor
in Creative Writing will be available.*
