The Arvon Foundation welcomes people on our writing courses from all over the world. We positively encourage it!

The experience of living and working as a writer, as well as eating together with people from every conceiveable part of the world, from different backgrounds and outlooks is one of the key ingredients of the Arvon Magic. International students add yet another touch of magic to your work and your experience.

Last year we welcomed people from countries as diverse as  Singapore, Germany, India, the United States of America, Australia,  Spain, and China.

If you are based overseas and wish to book a course, the easiest way to secure your place is to book online. You can pay your deposit by credit or debit card and receive instant confirmation.

Arvon's 2010 courses are booking fast but there are still over 500 places available. See a full list of courses and book your place online.

You can also sign up to our email newsletter and make sure you stay in touch with Arvon, wherever you are in the world.

One of the ways in which people come to us is through competitions organised by the British Council.

Every year, in association with the British Council India and the Charles Wallace Trust, the winner of the Unison Creative Writing Competition in India is offered a place at The Arvon Foundation on our courses open to the general public.
