Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Creative and Professional Writing with Foundation Year
Program Overview
Prepare to enter a world without limits, where the power of words and the potential of your imagination combine.
There has never been a more exciting time to be a writer. The internet has changed the world, increasing the scope for writers and their work. Our course recognises and embraces these opportunities. At UEL, we're building a community of writers and artists with something to say about themselves, and about the world.
Our unique programme invites you to experiment and dare to challenge traditional ways of looking at 'genre' in writing. We encourage you to explore multi-media approaches to your work and to experiment with poetry, prose, drama and different media.
We'll help you find your own path as a writer. You'll be introduced to various types of writing across a range of disciplines, paving your way for employment in many different areas where your skills will be highly valued.
If you don't meet the entry requirements for a BA, you can study this course as an 'extended', four-year programme . You'll begin by taking a foundation year which prepares you for a successful transition to the BA degree. This means it will take you four years to complete the course full-time, and eight years to complete the course part-time.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
One of the key concepts in creative writing is 'show, don't tell'. That applies to both our teaching philosophy as well as our approach to writing. So at UEL we will show you how to become the writer you want to be.
How? By providing you during your three-year course with a programme that offers stimulating readings, group discussions, lectures and creative assignments. You’ll learn all about fiction writing, poetry, screenwriting and creative non-fiction in a dynamic progression.
"It's about getting your feet wet in year one, experimenting in year two and, in your final year, working to professional standards," says lecturer and internationally published author Tessa McWatt.
The core modules examine different contexts of writing and analyse literary forms and structures. You'll learn how to write effectively in a host of different genres.
It’s a course that allows for specialisation, too. Optional workshops include hybrid genres and screenwriting. In your final year, for your dissertation, you can develop an extended piece of creative writing which particularly interests you.
