Course summary

On our course, you will develop as a creative writer with tuition and guidance from our team of professional writers.

In your first year, you will be introduced to the basic principles of Creative Writing with seminars, lectures and workshops on writing Poetry, Prose Fiction and Drama.

In year two, you will build upon this foundation with more complex learning and writing in flash fiction and poetry.

In your third and final year, you will be able to develop further your scriptwriting, poetry and longer fiction writing, tackling a large-scale writing project under expert supervision.

You also have the opportunity to spend five weeks working for a host organisation in this course. You’ll have the chance to test-drive a future career, boost your CV and gain real work experience. There is also the opportunity to undertake an Experiential Learning module, where you’ll apply what you’ve learned on the course to real-life scenarios and projects.

Our Experiential Overseas Learning module offers a unique opportunity to participate in a short-term placement around the world. This course also offers the exciting opportunity to study abroad for a full academic year at one of our bilateral exchange partners or through ISEP (International Student Exchange Programs), a network of over 300 additional higher education institutions worldwide.

If you choose a degree with a Placement Year, you’ll have the opportunity to undertake a year’s paid professional placement at the end of your second year, where you’ll experience the workplace, apply your learning and build connections for your future.
