Creative Writing and English Literature, BA (Hons)

Our Creative Writing and English Literature degree invites students to delve into significant literary works while nurturing their own creative voice. The programme examines literature, drama, poetry, fiction, visual art, and theatre, primarily from 1800 to the present, analysing these in their social and historical contexts. Creative writing components complement this by focusing on genres such as fiction, poetry, performance writing, playwriting, screenwriting, and journalism.Graduates often pursue careers in professional writing, research, teaching, journalism, publishing, and arts administration, with options for further study through postgraduate degrees. The course provides a solid foundation in literature from the Renaissance to today, broadly including drama and visual narratives, and combines literary analysis with practical writing to develop skills, produce works for stage and screen, and offer structured feedback for professional growth.
