As well as developing your creative writing skills (including poetry, drama and short fiction) you’ll have the chance to explore professional writing techniques such as news and feature writing. Combining these with a study of critical writing, you’ll discover new ways to express your literary talent. You can tailor your Writing and English Literature degree to your ideal career with our wide range of optional modules, including work-based modules in Years 2 and 3. We’ll support you to find work placements relevant to your chosen career. You can also take an optional placement year.

This will offer you the unique opportunity to consider a range of responses to your work, as well as sharpening your own critical skills. By studying English literature, you will also be exploring a range of other subjects at the same time, including history, politics, philosophy, religion, psychology and the history of art.
