    About

    Highlights

    • Work creatively on writing novels, poetry, short stories, creative non-fiction, memoir, and genre fiction. You'll work towards a year-long major piece of creative writing in a form and genre of your choice.
    • Learn about central ideas from literary theory and ways to think and write critically about texts.
    • Learn from highly experienced and published authors, scholars, and experts in creative writing.
    • Gain a strong foundation in contemporary law knowledge, understanding and experience.
    • Benefit from meaningful connections with high profile industry employers and classes with leading and internationally renowned law experts.
    • Develop specialised creative skills while meeting the academic requirements for admission to legal practice in Australia.
    • Complete 2 degrees in 5.5 years full-time.

    Why choose this course?

    This double degree prepares you to work as a professional creative writer, as a barrister or solicitor in private practice, or to practise with large companies, in government agencies, or as a policy adviser. Through the combination of creative writing with law, you will enhance your employability in your chosen field, whether in the legal fraternity or as a creative practitioner. You can advise on the legalities in the publishing or creative writing industries, or in relation to copyright or intellectual property law, or work as an editor of legal-related publications or in a position specialising in law in the publishing industry.

    Immerse yourself in the creative writing major with up to 16 discipline units and gain in-depth knowledge in your specialisation. Your law degree component comprises nineteen core units and eight law elective units, which can include a third study area as a minor or electives from across QUT.

    We offer the largest and most comprehensive undergraduate writing course in South-East Queensland with the broadest range of units on offer. We take a transdisciplinary approach from the outset, encouraging you as a specialist creative writer to work in teams with others who have different creative skill sets. You will graduate with advanced writing and communication competence—a rare skill keenly sought by employers.

    You will be taught by highly experienced and published authors, scholars, and experts in creative writing.

    Visits from other writers, editors and publishers will further help you gain a unique perspective on writing as a vocation and as a critical and creative practice. Writers, editors and publishers regularly provide guest lectures for the benefit of students, and you'll have access to the industry and national writing communities.
