The innovative BA (Hons) Creative Writing in the Highlands and Islands is designed to give you a solid grounding in the creative principles, in both the form and structure of four of the main areas of creative writing: poetry, prose, playwriting, and screenplay. You will be encouraged to explore how these can inform and support other areas of professional writing in gaming, advertising, marketing, vlogs, etc.
You will have the opportunity to present your work using traditional methods as well as using new technologies and publishing platforms. The course aims to place creative disciplines within the cultural, social, political, geographical, and historical context of Scotland, and to show how they make the area culturally unique but connect it to the literature, cultural traditions, and histories of its geographical neighbors.
You will be encouraged to pursue your creativity, along with both the necessary intellectual stimulation and understanding of the professionalism required to be a successful writer in your chosen field.
The degree capitalizes on the popularity of books and series set in Scotland and beyond and will encourage you to realize the potential opportunity these existing and developing markets represent for your work.
