The BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing degree course is an excellent foundation for a career in writing, editing or publishing. As a writer, you develop a strong feeling for language and the linguistic tools available to you. You extend your boundaries and stretch yourself to refine your writing technique.

Alongside studying topics such as romantic and Victorian literature, modernism, postmodernism and postcolonial writing, you have the opportunity to practise your creativity in a number of forms, contexts and genres. You gain a solid understanding of creative-critical approaches, and develop personal and professional skills which are greatly valued by employers.
