- Develop the creative and analytical skills to write across genres and understanding the traditions that shape your work.
- Build the confidence to grow your voice with published writers, editors and researchers.
The world is strange, surprising and full of wonder - it is also in crisis. From climate change to social justice, imaginative minds must articulate this reality. Join us if you want to forge spaces of consolation, repair or joyous escape.
Both inspirational and practical, this degree is ideal if you want to:
- study great works
- experiment with your writing
- challenge received ideas
- make your voice heard in an uncertain age.
Working with published writers and researchers, you’ll develop your own critical understanding and creative techniques. You’ll read texts from diverse cultures, genres and periods. You’ll also connect your writing to contemporary challenges such as AI, climate violence and global conflict.
We encourage different ways of thinking, feeling, and expressing, including by respecting neurodiversity. You’ll create work that remains true to the complexity of the world and the human experience. You'll learn to interpret, understand and portray our amazing – if messy – lives.
You can join workshops with acclaimed guest writers and research in our unique archives – this includes unique treasures like Virginia Woolf’s personal letters. You could become published in our creative writing journal, or learn to print on our traditional typography press. You might break a story for The Badger, or teach with our award winning Sussex Writes.
You’ll graduate as an experienced writer and understand the pathways to publication. You’ll have high-level creative, expressive and analytical skills. You'll also have practical experience to hit the ground running in jobs in the media, commerce, government, education, law and more.
