What is BA English Literature with Creative Writing?
You’ll nurture your creativity alongside your love of literature. Guided by practicing writers, you’ll learn to sculpt language into stories, scenes, and images. You’ll study literature from around the world, discovering how writers have expanded literary possibilities and made art out of lived experience.
In your first two years, you’ll spend two-thirds of your time on English Literature and one-third on Creative Writing. In your third year, you can choose to focus more on Creative Writing or Literature, depending on your interests.
You can take inspiration for your creativity from the literary treasures of the British Archive for Contemporary Writing and the Sainsbury Centre. You can also get involved with our student-run publishing project EggBox, where you can publish your work or get hands-on experience making books and zines. You’ll study in a department home to award-winning writers such as Kazuo Ishiguro, Ian McEwan, and Anne Enright.
