Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Creative Writing and English Language

During this course, students will study the fundamental structures and theoretical principles of English and language in general, and use them to understand and analyse spoken and written English discourse in context. This may include investigating sounds, word meanings, sentence structures, discourse analytical principles, child language acquisition, and language variation and change. Students will be offered a variety of assessment types, including standard essays, presentations, data collection projects, exercises, transcriptions, dissertation and even blogs. This will help to equip them with the academic experiences you need to make the most of employment opportunities following their undergraduate degree and/or postgraduate study.

The Creative Writing course gives students the opportunity to develop the skills and techniques to become a creative writer in poetry, drama and fiction (flashes, short stories, novels), and also to write critically. Students will learn how their own work fits into the wider world of literature and contemporary publishing.
