BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing

Study world literature, explore your talents, and build a solid technical foundation as a writer with this joint honours degree. BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing enables students to consider literature from a variety of theoretical, historical, and cultural perspectives. These include poetry, fiction, and drama, as well as less traditional literary forms, such as non-fiction, audio drama, and graphic novels. Throughout their studies, students can develop their craft as authors, building their own portfolio of creative writing pieces across a wide range of popular formats. Teaching on the programme is enhanced by workshops, readings, and masterclasses with visiting authors. This gives students practical experience and enables them to learn from experts in the field. Recent students have enjoyed visits from Poet Laureate Dame Carol Ann Duffy, author and TV presenter Chris Packham, and art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon.
