Creative Writing (BA Hons)

If you love reading and writing, then we can help you to develop your creative potential. Creative Writing is taught by a team of award-winning writers, and helps to foster skills that matter in the workplace as much as on the page. Communication, creativity, reflection, analysis and collaboration are at the heart of this degree.

Good writing comes through good reading, so our course emphasises the importance of engaging with the wider world of literature in order to develop your own style. You’ll study brilliant writing from the past, as well as learning from contemporary creative practitioners. You’ll learn to read and analyse texts to develop a deeper understanding and you’ll have the chance to get involved in events, performances and publications.

We place a strong emphasis on giving you transferable skills, so that whether you pursue a career in writing, the arts or another profession, you’ll have the empathy, insight, independent thinking and experiences to help you succeed. You will develop both intellectual skills and the practical skills necessary for employability, as well as gaining a wealth of experience relevant to the publishing industry and beyond.
