There are several now. For a long time the MA at UEA was the only one. It's
still the most famous, so much so that articles about other courses in the
papers still tend to be illustrated by photos of Malcolm Bradbury, its
founder, and Kazuou Ishiguro or Rose Tremain, its best known graduates. I
teach on the Masters in Writing (formerly an MA, now upgraded to an MPhil)
at Glamorgan. (2 year, part-time distance learning - details on my website
if anyone's interested.) Our students are also beginning to have some
publishing success, though such is the prejudice here against the idea that
writing skills can be taught that their publishers forbid them to admit it
in public.
Best wishes,
