The Department of English will facilitate the opportunity for you to work with an external practitioner, including Storyhouse, Chester Literature Festival, the Grosvenor Museum, Louder Than Words Festival, and Gladstone's Library. Why study this course with us? The Department of English offers expertise in a variety of writers and eras €“ including in the practice of creative writing and in a wide range of literary specialisms €“ which will facilitate your exploration of your own interests in particular forms of narrative and storytelling. You will work alongside Storyhouse staff, who are committed to widening access to the magic of storytelling within the community of Chester. We also recognize the importance of pastoral support and offer a supportive environment in which to learn and study.
