    About

    About this course

    You’ll hone your writing craft through practical workshops and seminar discussions. Developing core skills in characterisation, storytelling and creating a sense of place. And you'll experiment with different genres and forms. From fantasy and science fiction, to scriptwriting and short stories, to poetry and non-fiction.

    You’ll also gain a solid grounding in English and American literature. From the medieval and Renaissance eras through to #MeToo and Black Lives Matter. You’ll cover a wide range of poetry, short fiction, drama and novels. And you’ll debate urgent issues including the environment and social justice.

    There's a lot to get involved in outside of the lecture theatre, too. You can join our active, student-led English Society and HUWrites. HUWrites provides a platform for performance with showcases and student-led podcasts. You’ll also get the chance to design, edit and publish with our in-house magazines, Document 1 and Hull Scribbler.

    Scheduled study hours and how you’re assessed

    You don't do exams at work, so why do them at university? We take a different approach and focus on giving you the skills and experience to succeed, whatever career you choose.

    So here, 100% of your assessments will be through coursework, which could include essays, blogs, vlogs, group projects or presentations. But don't worry, you won't be forced to present live if you don't want to.

    Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time is divided across the year varies and depends on the module you are studying.
