English Literature and Creative Writing

Program Description

This degree puts the practice of writing in different genres on an equal footing with critical and cultural-historical approaches to literature. Beginning with the foundation module Modes of Writing, teaching methods for the writing modules combine critical discussion with intensive practical work. The first year also includes historical and theoretical literary modules. In the second and third years, students are encouraged to take an approved module from outside English in the Humanities, Science or Social Science faculties. This provides a broad intellectual context for work in creative writing, which includes specialised options in poetry, fiction, and screenwriting.
