Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Creative Writing and Digital Media

Program Overview

Find your voice, both critically and creatively, as you develop an in-depth understanding of the world of media. Today’s media is becoming more diverse and dynamic as digital and social media platforms thrive. Hone the skills you need to play your part.  

Our practical course nurtures your hands-on technical skills, original creativity, and entrepreneurial attitude, giving you the versatility for a successful media career. You’ll develop the ability to critically comment on media practice and produce new creative work for websites, blogs, print, video, audio and multimedia. We’ll help you develop research, editorial, storytelling and targeting skills, building your confidence in creating, editing and submitting work.  

You’ll learn about media both in the UK and internationally, starting with general modules such as Global Media and Telling Stories through Sound and Image, progressing to the opportunity to create your own media project with a client before you leave or studying how to create a PR campaign as well as the fascinating world of celebrity media. 

You'll be taught by leading poets, fiction, and non-fiction writers. All your lecturers are active writers in their field - some are even internationally published authors. This means you’ll be learning from writers who have excellent industry connections and have the latest knowledge when it comes to trends, styles, and publishing guides giving you everything you need to become a published author yourself. Partner this with gaining the latest insights and skills within media, from podcasting to learning about PR.  

You can take part in industry events and say your course is affiliated to the Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA), one of Britain's top trade organisations for PR professionals. You can attend our Media Matters guest lectures given by a range of media speakers from top journalists to our recent graduates. You'll have the opportunity to network with inspirational and well-known screen writers, biographers, poets, novelists, nonfiction authors and playwrights at our Creative Conversation events.
