Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Creative and Professional Writing (W810)

BA(Hons) Creative and Professional Writing develops students' creative abilities and forms their identity as a writer. It also prepares students for the world of work by helping them acquire highly transferable skills and giving them access to a wealth of learning opportunities.

To succeed as a writer, students need many strings to their bow. That's why UWE offers tuition in corporate copywriting across all three years, alongside fiction, non-fiction and scriptwriting. Students will hone a broad range of writing skills, and be equipped to take on paid writing work in different areas when they graduate.

Students will also become adept at conducting research, and work on live briefs from Bristol-based employers that recruit skilled writers.

What's more, students can gain professional experience writing for UWE Bristol student media, including Hub Radio, Hub Voice student magazine and Cellar Door magazine.

Thanks to our connections, you have the chance to work with publishers and agents, as well as the Bristol Cultural Development Partnership, Watershed, Poetry Can, Spike Island, the Arnolfini and Bristol Museums, Galleries and Archives.

We also enjoy links with commercial partners including Babcock International, Stratton Craig, John Wainwright & Company Ltd, The Writing Hut Ltd and Anthem Publishing.
