Our approach to the English & Creative Writing course is innovative, modern and friendly, giving you a comprehensive underatanding of English literature as a core basis for your creative work. The emphasis is on helping you develop a range of applicable skills to grow your future career, including textual analysis and interpretation.With us, you can study everything from poetry, the novel and drama (stage, screen and radio) as you would expect on an English and Creative Writing degree, but in addition, at Strathclyde, we offer the opportunity to use creative writing skills as part of your approach to literary criticism. You'll have the opportunity to work with award-winning scholars and creative writers.Our main focus in psychology is the study of human behaviour.You'll study conditions of behaviour how we learn, remember, coordinate our actions and interact with others. You'll also study the reasons for differences between individuals, such as personality or intelligence.Due to the popularity of the course and performance criteria for entry into Honours (Year 4), numbers admitted to Years 2 and 3 of the course are limited.Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are broad-based to start with. In Year 1 you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s).Ranked Top 10 in the UK for English (The Times/Sunday Times University Ranking 2025) and Top 10 in the UK for Creative Writing (Complete University Guide 2025) Ranked Top 10 in the UK for Psychology (The Times/Sunday Times University Ranking 2025).This course is part of our flexible BA Humanities and Social Science Degree programme. With our BA (Honours) degree you can choose from subjects in Humanities, Social Sciences and Business, with two of your three subject choices taught by the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences. The BA degree is a three year course and the Honours degree is normally a four year course. This allows you to try new subjects, develop your own ideas, develop a broad range of knowledge and enhance your employability. You should only enter one of the UCAS codes on your application form. Acceptance on one of these subject codes will enable you to study any combination of subjects. Only one application will be considered. This is lifted from page 50 of the prospectus. https://www.strath.ac.uk/humanities/undergraduate/flexiblebadegree/ Every one of our flexible BA options gives students the chance to gain valuable professional experience as part of a credit-bearing work placement class in their third or fourth year.
