What exactly does studying creative writing at university involve? Any good writing course will allow you to develop your skills in the creative pillars of plot, characterisation and narrative. But at the University of Salford, it doesn't end there. Our unique multidiscipline degree is designed to help you skill up for the creative industries and support your writing vocation with work that pays.

The first year of your creative writing course is designed to inspire and nurture your writing talent, while introducing you to key concepts in multimedia production and multimedia journalism. Each module will give you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of creative writing – whether that be rediscovering your passion for reading, learning how to respond to poetry or developing yourself as a networked journalist.

Moving into the second and third year of your degree, you‘ll shape your studies to focus on the areas of creative writing that interest you most. From comedy writing and performance to screenwriting, radio podcasting and theatre, this is your chance to develop a strong portfolio in your chosen area.
