Course summary

Want to be a a professional writer but don't have the right grades? Study our English and Creative Writing (with Foundation Year) to develop your writing skills and unlock your creative potential.

On the foundation year you’ll be introduced to English language and linguistic concepts and build essential skills for success. This includes academic writing, critical thinking, research, collaboration, and independent learning. And you'll have the option to explore modules in education, humanities or language studies.

When you complete the foundation year, you'll progress onto our BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing degree. In your first year you'll choose to study either English literature or English language with creative writing.

In English Literature, you’ll explore a range of topics from the Renaissance to Romantic and Gothic works, as well as science fiction and contemporary literature. In English language you'll explore the unique stylistic choices that define an author’s voice. You will also develop language skills to expose hidden biases and challenge social inequalities.

Future Careers:

Many of our BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing graduates have gone on to careers in publishing, writing, travel and tourism, advertising, journalism and the media. You'll be prepared for roles across creative industries, communications, and beyond.
