English & Creative Writing BA(Hons)

This course is a celebration of literature, where you’ll develop the ability and confidence to write for specific genres, forms and audiences. You’ll read critically and widely, analyse and create in equal measure and build the technical and imaginative thinking skills valued by employers across any number of careers. Follow a literary journey that culminates in the most vivid contemporary writing before specialising in chosen areas such as poetry, drama, fiction or non-fiction – making your own contribution through University publications or projects with our industry partners.

• Learn, debate and create under the guidance of academics, industry professionals and diverse guest speakers
• Design and run a collaborative project such as a sitcom, podcast or illustrated anthology, working with business, education and community partners
• Attend our guest lecture series, where you’ll build relationships and contacts within all facets of the literary world
• Participate in literary events, such as Falmouth Book Festival and the North Cornwall Book Festival
• Take inspiration from The Lighthouse – the workspace at the heart of our community
• Gain industry-ready skills by writing, editing or promoting FalWriting, our student-led online magazine
