Our Creative Writing BA (Hons) course will provide you with opportunities for creative writing across a variety of genres and media. You’ll embrace poetry, prose fiction and non-fiction, professional writing, and writing for radio and screen.
Taught by published authors, academics and industry professionals, you'll examine how writing can be used to communicate in a range of contexts, with appropriate uses of style, register and form. You'll also hone your skills across creative and non-fiction genres and work on writing for digital media, pitches, exhibitions, reviews, and articles.
An extended writing project will be on a subject of your choice. You'll also build a professional portfolio and work on real-life industry projects, giving you vital employment experience to prepare you for a writing career.
To help you master the kinds of writing that interests you most, this course features two distinct pathways, so that you can choose to study works of literature or film. The literature pathway features modules that explore a variety of literary topics and texts in depth. Alternatively, if your main interests lie in writing for and about film and television, you can elect to take the degree's film pathway, on which you'll study film in depth.
