Good online Continuing Education/Lifelong Learning courses - English/Writing

[Jng1]

One of the (few) benefits of covid was that a lot of universities made their previously in-person Continuing Education courses online, which meant that they opened up to a much broader range of students.
My interests are mostly English Literature/ Creative Writing/Drama/ Film and I've done some excellent courses with Oxford and York unis, but wondered if anyone could recommend any others?

Oh - was going to suggest the Oxford MSt! Other than that I don’t know much about other universities’ online offerings.

Have you already tried Arvon? Obviously much shorter courses.

I know the RSC does an MA in tandem with Birmingham University but I don’t think it’s primarily online.

I assume you already know about every possible writing course run by theatres?

And I’m guessing you’re well aware of Curtis Brown, and Faber (plus another whose name I forget)?

Thanks! I hadn't thought about theatre-led courses.
I quite like the academic style of university courses, but I did do the Curtis Brown 6 week online course.
The ones at York were good as they were a two-hour live on zoom class, rather than the Oxford ContEd ones where everyone was contributing to a written online forum throughout the week. I like the live discussion - kept me going through lockdown to be honest, and I thought I'd quite like to do soemthing similar again this winter!

Do you have a creative end goal in mind, or do you just enjoy the activity (studying English ++) in and for itself?

Cambridge Continuing Education has online Creative Writing and Literature courses - some are a year long and you get a Certificate/Diploma, some are short courses:www.ice.cam.ac.uk/courses/courses-subject/creative-writing-literature-and-film-studies
