If your interest in literature extends to an ambition to write creatively, this course will support that ambition through classes, workshops and seminars dedicated to the development of your creative talent. In the final year, you will have the option to work on, and complete to a high standard, a substantial writing project in the field of either Creative Writing or English Literature. To help you reach this standard, you will be advised and directed by one of the supervisors on the Creative Writing or English Team.
You will study the work of a wide range of writers, focusing on how they create their works. You will learn how characters are constructed, how to handle dialogue, how to manage time and sequencing, and many other elements about the craft of writing that will greatly enhance your own skill. You will be introduced to contemporary developments in literature by considering the work of a number of Irish and international writers, who will guest lecture and provide valuable insight into the writing process.
