Our BA in English Literature with Creative Writing is a dynamic and flexible programme allows you to study literature across different periods, cultures and principal literary genres.
You won’t be restricted to studying the printed word. We’re interested in the connections between literature and film, art, history, technology, language and everyday life, and our teaching reflects these interests. You’ll explore how literature addresses social, environmental and economic concerns, and how it can contribute to a better, more inclusive world and sustainable solutions for the future of the planet.
The creative writing element of the programme gives you the opportunity to progress from introductory work in reading and writing creatively to more specialised work in forms and genres such as fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction and scriptwriting. Guided by passionate and award-winning creative writing staff, this all leads to the production of an extended collection of creative work - demonstrating your voice and interests as a writer.
Throughout the programme, you’ll be encouraged to stretch yourself intellectually and imaginatively by exploring literature as both a creative practitioner and a critic. Our approach will help you understand the creative process, while developing your knowledge of genre and literary history.
In a friendly and supportive environment, you'll develop as a careful, attentive and informed reader and writer, sensitive to the nuances of language and style, and able to produce polished and sophisticated creative work.
