About the course

The world is strange, surprising and full of wonder. It is also in crisis: from climate change to social justice, imaginative minds and committed voices are needed to articulate this reality, and to forge spaces of consolation, repair or escape.On this course, you’ll explore the powerful, complex and even weird world of literature and of writing in its broadest scope. What do you want to write? Modernist poem? Epic fantasy novel? Interactive ghost story? Sitcom screenplay? Compelling journalism? Wherever your interests lie, this BA is designed to help you develop your own ambitious projects, whatever the form, genre or theme. You will:- explore the fundamentals of creative writing- develop the powers of your imagination and your technical skills- complete your creative portfolio, a longer writing project supported by one-to-one advice- take electives from other subjects – from business to law and modern languages – to open your mind to other disciplines and tailor your degree to your interests.This course is for you if you’d like to:- expand your capacities as a creator and communicator- see the world around you in new ways- articulate your critical insights in imaginative and creative writing, in any medium.When you graduate, you’ll have the critical thinking and practical creative skills to make a valuable contribution to society.
