Creative Writing Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

We take a holistic approach aiming towards you not only becoming the best writer you can be, but ensuring you understand how you can use your writing in a professional capacity. To help you achieve this, our department of passionate and supportive lecturers runs a practice-based programme with workshops designed to encourage your evolution as a writer.

* Study the craft of writing through a multi-genre and professional approach

* Move progressively through a structured series of writing assignments and exercises, enhanced by a workshop environment

* Immerse yourself in an independent creative project in your final year

* Networking opportunities with authors, publishers and agents

As one of the most successful creative writing programmes of its kind in the UK, we encourage you to see all types of writing in relation to wider literary, cultural and professional contexts. Whether you are crafting novels, poems or non fiction, our widely published academics help you to demonstrate a high level of technical skill, an aptitude for self-expression, and a commitment to hard work and personal development. 

The course arms you with desirable transferable skills, such as confident and compelling storytelling, critical thinking and articulate expression. These abilities are valued in a variety of employment contexts including arts and entertainment as well as business and commerce.
