Course summary
Embark on our Creative Writing degree and from the very start you’ll study and practise the art and craft of writing in a wide range of established and new forms, from prose fiction and poetry, to screenwriting and writing for computer games. You’ll learn from established poets, novelists and scriptwriters at our Manchester Writing School – writers who know what it takes to turn a flash of inspiration into award-winning words on the page. The course also has a strong emphasis on professional development, and in our practical 'Beyond the Page' unit you’ll look at professional practice in the literary industry and working in the cultural industry in general. In our workshops, you’ll study the formal aspects of creative writing as well as putting your own skills into practice. If you choose the placement route, you will be able to spend Year 3 of your studies on an industry placement. A placement is a key element of the course as it allows you to apply university-based knowledge, skills and understanding to the real world of work. It also gives you an advantage when you begin looking for your first job upon graduating. All of this culminates, in your final year, in a challenging creative writing project of your own. And for those looking to develop their craft still further, this degree is excellent preparation for our Masters in Creative Writing.**Features and Benefits**- **Teaching expertise** - You’ll learn from the experience and expertise of a wide range of leading poets, novelists and scriptwriters based at the Manchester Writing School, one of the largest and one of the most successful of its kind in the UK.- **Industry events** - You’ll have access to the many conferences, readings, research programmes, festivals and competitions run by the department.- **Build your network** - We’ll help you build your own network among our many partners within the creative and culturally rich city of Manchester.- **Placement flexibility** - You will have the opportunity to spend your third year on an industry placement.
