BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing & Law

University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

Our approach to the English & Creative Writing course is innovative, modern, and friendly, giving you a comprehensive understanding of English literature as a core basis for your creative work. The emphasis is on helping you develop a range of skills to grow your future career, including textual analysis and interpretation. With us, you can study everything from poetry to the novel, and drama (stage, screen, and radio).

As part of your experience, you’ll get the chance to work with award-winning scholars and creative writers. We have a reputation for getting to know students as individuals. We also offer a wide range of options, many of them unique in the UK, reflecting our staff's interests and expertise.

There are several ways you can study Law at Strathclyde. You can study for a BA degree or in combination with another subject.

Law involves the study of the obligations, duties and rights which every member of society has about one another and the State. The study of Law is regarded not as purely vocational, but as part of a broader education. Please note that studying Law with a BA degree will not qualify you for entry into the legal profession. For professional qualifications in Law, students follow the LLB programme.

Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are broad-based to start with. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s).
