Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing

Program Overview

Develop your creative voice while also studying literature from classical civilisation to the present day
Enhance your writing through both text-based writing experiments and workshops focusing on your own writing
Explore the professional dimensions of Creative Writing, such as performing your work, editing, publishing, and marketing
Get involved with our four student-run literary journals: Cake, Lux, Flash, and Errant and our partners, the city-based LitFest
Be inspired by our rich programme of literary events on campus, online, and in the city’s historic Castle Quarter
Enjoy the benefits of our partnership with the archive-rich Wordsworth Museum, including internship opportunities

The study of English Literature here is founded on the conviction that reading is not passive but active; it is something that acts upon both the texts that we read and the world in which we live. Neither those texts nor the world are left the same as they were before. This means that as well as nurturing all kinds of established forms of literary scholarship, such as archival work, historicism, close reading, and literary theory, we are pioneers in experimental or creative forms of literary criticism.

Studying with us means not only a deep and close engagement with literature itself but an appreciation of how literature explores many other worlds – politics, ecology, philosophy, psychology, theology, film, and fashion, etc. To support this, in your first year, if you wish, you can study one subject outside of English Literature and Creative Writing, choosing from a wide range of modules. And you can, if you wish, continue to take modules from other subject areas in your second and final years.
