Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Media and Creative Writing (Optional Placement Year)
Program Overview
At Bangor University, our goal is to help you find your voice, critically and creatively, as you study and practise a wide range of genres, styles and forms of writing and media. Studying Media and Creative Writing in combination, you’ll consider creative production and practice as a reader, writer, producer, consumer and critic.
Our filmmaking facilities include editing suites and the latest 4K digital filmmaking equipment. You’ll also have access to the professionally equipped public screening spaces in Pontio. As well as hosting our own media showcase, Pontio Cinema runs a range of industry events by the likes of the British Film Institute and Film Wales Network.
The course will develop your skills in writing novels, short fiction, creative non-fiction, flash fiction, hybrid forms, and poetry. You will engage in technologies and techniques used in digital media, television, radio, film and emerging forms of media like automated journalism, vlogs or short-form videos like TikTok.
The focus is very much on practical experience on our Media and Creative Writing degree. You’ll be mentored by published writers and poets, film and media practitioners, and academic researchers who are experts in their field.
The expertise of our staff spans advertising, media regulation, privacy, political communication, journalism, professional writing, comics, visual culture, gender and the media, global media, social networks, and documentary.
You will be able to gain practical experience by preparing submissions for pamphlets and online content produced by Writers’ Guild. For broader media experience, the Rostra Theatre Society, English Drama Society and Musical Theatre Society encourage students to get involved in all the activities required to put on a creative production.
We enjoy strong links with local media production companies, including BBC Wales and S4C and independent TV companies - Rondo Media, Cwmni Da, Darlun, Slam Media, and Aria Film Studios. We have close connections with BAFTA Cymru - some of our graduates have gone on to win top awards. This presents opportunities to gain practical experience, forging links with potential future employers in the media and creative industries, as well attending industry talks and workshops.
As well as field trips to film showings, recitals, and art galleries, there’ll be opportunities to hear visiting creative writers and industry professionals.
