English with Creative Writing

About

If your interest in literature extends to an ambition to write creatively, this course will support that ambition through classes, workshops and seminars dedicated to the development of your creative talent. In the final year, you will have the option to work on, and complete to a high standard, a substantial writing project in the field of either Creative Writing or English Literature. To help you reach this standard, you will be advised and directed by one of the supervisors on the Creative Writing or English Team.
