Study Level

Undergraduate

This degree promotes your intellectual curiosity and creativity by combining the study of English literature with the practice of creative writing. It will develop your analytical and critical abilities as well as your imaginative skills. Each level of the degree includes a year-long creative writing module that's taught by creative writing practitioners and active researchers, so you'll have access to excellent expertise. These creative writing modules take the form of workshops that will develop your knowledge, lay the foundations of your creative writing practice, and specialise in prose fiction or poetry. You'll be encouraged to interact within a community of writers supportive of the development of your work, and will prepare a portfolio of work in your final year. You'll also study compulsory and option modules from the wide range offered by the Department of English and Comparative Literature. The Department is large enough to provide a wide range of modules, but small enough to let you get to know other students and staff. We host a programme of guest lectures that has included major names in literature, including Alan Bennett, Germaine Greer, and Nobel Laureates Seamus Heaney, Doris Lessing, Harold Pinter and Derek Walcott. Our graduates have a good employment record, and have gone on to work in publishing, journalism, PR, teaching, advertising, and the media.
