Course summary
Our Creative Writing programme is informed by the National Association of Writers in Education (NAWE) definition of the subject. It is designed to nurture creative writers and to facilitate the creation of new works in a supportive but critical community. You will develop your practice with modules that heighten creative and critical awareness of the elements and techniques of effective writing. We introduce poetry, prose and drama in year one and broaden the focus in the second and third years to nurture the writing of voice, form and place. There are dedicated modules that develop practice in poetry and fiction, and, while the critical, self-reflective and editorial aspects of practice are emphasised throughout, there is also a module devoted to the relationship between research and writing. You will draw on these skills to research and produce an extended independent project (equivalent to a dissertation). These core skills – writing, research and editing – are supplemented by modules that introduce you to the worlds of publication and performance, enabling you to develop an understanding of the career prospects for writers in the creative industries and the application of writing skills in administrative and entrepreneurial contexts.
