Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Creative and Professional Writing

Year 1 is designed to prepare students for the study of creative and professional writing at degree level. They'll take introductory modules in creative forms (poetry, drama and fiction), and professional and non-fiction writing. Students will also study developments in writing and wellbeing, and take a module in contextual studies, which enables them to explore some of the key literary and theoretical movements that inform contemporary writing. In Year 2 students will study six core modules that have optionality built into them, enabling students to focus on particular areas of interest whilst developing essential skills. In Year 3 students will continue to study core modules as well as completing a 10,000 word (40-credit) Final Year Independent Study, supported by a tutor, on a creative subject of their choice.
