Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Creative and Professional Writing

Program Overview

  • Focus on the practice of crafting written prose, facilitated through workshops that are dynamic and enlightening
  • Participate in discussions led by tutors with high levels of professional expertise and many published works between them
  • Choose from a wealth of fascinating courses, such as composing song lyrics, screenplays and Writing for Games
  • Open to those who have taken a break from studies, or have followed less conventional academic routes to university

We train you to be the best professional writer you can be, whether that be compiling novels, poems or scripts, feature articles and travel writing, museum exhibition catalogues and biographies, or reports and copywriting.

Our three-year course encourages you to see writing of all kinds in relation to wider literary, cultural and professional contexts. We aim to give you confidence in your expressive powers to help you become a sophisticated and imaginative professional writer who can use different techniques, styles and tones to match a wide variety of audiences.

In Year 1, you learn to work in the four key genres of creative writing (fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry and script) and develop skills in editing and proofreading. You are encouraged to develop your own creativity in a variety of ways and to examine ways in which writers use and break the rules of writing.

In Year 2, you choose to specialise in particular genres of writing, many of which relate clearly to specific professional/vocational environments. At the same time, you further develop your research, editing and publishing skills.

A variety of modules in Year 3 inspire you to use your own creativity to engage with employers and the wider community. You undertake an extended creative project, and there are further opportunities to specialise in a whole host of writing areas from comics and business storytelling, to digital and radio.
