“The only way to find your voice is to use it.” – Austin Kleon On this course, we’ll help you do just that. English Literature with Creative Writing with a Foundation Year starts with learning essential skills to prepare you for degree-level study. Passing this foundation year leads to our English Literature with Creative Writing BA which will provide you with a solid grounding in literature and the space to explore your own creative writing abilities. You’ll experiment with new forms and genres and push yourself as a writer and a reader. You’ll discover new strengths, areas of interest and new passions. You’ll also shape your writing by studying different literary voices and how they’ve been influenced by the issues of their time. And through workshops led by your tutors, you’ll examine some of the most pressing issues of today, thinking about how they impact your own writing style. Ours is a supportive community. We’ll help you develop the skills you’ll need to succeed not just as a writer but also as an engaged citizen of the world.
