**Passionate about ideas? Love writing? Join our vibrant community of creative thinkers, supported by award-winning authors and leading philosophy minds.**<br/><br/><br/>- Your projects, your way, with our support. Including literary festivals, publications, podcasts - we’ll help you find your voice across a wide range of genres.<br/><br/><br/>- Combine professional skills and opportunities with subject knowledge in an innovative combination of subjects.<br/><br/><br/>- Explore the next stage in your career - we’re industry focused with an emphasis on developing your professional practice and employability. Our graduates have gone on to work with leading employers in a wide range of roles.<br/><br/><br/>Join us at Bath Spa University where writing is the thing we love to do and one of the main things we love to talk about. <br/><br/>Apply your knowledge of philosophy to contemporary challenges, issues and debates. Our innovative Philosophy and Ethics course has been designed to enable you to acquire specialised subject knowledge alongside practical and professional skills.<br/><br/>In our workshops, you’ll find friends for life who, like you, want to spend time in a writing world of imagination, creativity and experimentation. You’ll address the key questions which underpin all academic disciplines and concepts, and how they are fundamental to our study of history, literature, the arts and sciences.<br/><br/>You’ll enjoy working on our unique campus, surrounded by wildlife and a beautiful 18th-century landscape, perfect for creative inspiration. <br/><br/>Creative Writing at Bath Spa University is a challenging, exciting and flexible programme, designed to help you develop your writing craft and find your writing path. You’ll be taught by exceptional published writers with years of industry experience and knowledge to share with you.<br/><br/>It’s not just about writing craft - you’ll also learn vital professional skills. Well help you gain experience in industry and meet writers and creative practitioners from the professional literary world. Through your modules, projects and student society activities, you’ll leave with a portfolio of work that demonstrates your skills and abilities. Like so many of our graduates, you’ll be ready for a career in the creative industries or postgraduate study.<br/><br/>By working collaboratively across the Humanities, our Philosophers develop expertise in their own subject alongside the skills and approaches that will equip them for the next stage in their careers: learning to work with others, planning and implementing a project, making a pitch to a potential employer, and evaluating and acting on different options.<br/><br/>**Combined Honour Awards**<br/>At Bath Spa University many of our undergraduate programmes can be combined, so you don’t have to limit yourself to one subject. If you choose to study a combined award then in Year One you’ll start by studying both subjects in equal depth. From Year Two you can choose whether to continue with equal numbers of modules from each subject, or whether you want to select additional modules in one or the other. Upon successful completion of the programme you will graduate with a joint degree. <br/><br/>**More about the Professional Placement Year**<br/>A Professional Placement Year (PPY), traditionally known as a sandwich year, is where you undertake a period of work with an external organisation for between 9-13 months. The placement occurs between your second and final years of undergraduate study. You can engage in multiple placements to make up the total time and are required to source the placement(s) yourself, with support from the Careers team.
