Embrace your love of the written and spoken word on this Creative Writing and Modern Languages degree.
As you explore a variety of creative writing techniques and forms, you’ll also learn a modern language, choosing either French or Spanish, and spend a year abroad fully immersed in the language and culture of a country where your chosen language is spoken.
Guided by published writers, poets and researchers, you will study and practise creative writing across a range of genres, forms, and media, from the traditional through to the experimental. You will discover your unique strengths as a writer and find new ways to engage creatively with different audiences.
At the same time, you will learn and develop your competence in writing, speaking and comprehension in your chosen modern language. You can also explore historical and cultural aspects relating to your chosen language and the communities that speak it, such as literature, film, contemporary issues or politics.
The compulsory year abroad is fantastic preparation for today’s multilingual, multicultural world of work. The experience can inform, inspire and influence your creative writing whilst improving your language skills.
When studying Creative Writing, the focus is very much on practical experience. You’ll be encouraged to build your professional network and play an active role in our creative community. Our teaching team are part of a vibrant community of writers and in the past influential writers have joined us in conversation, from the internationally acclaimed through to the rising stars of tomorrow – this includes former students now working as professional writers.
