The aim of this course is to equip students with the ethical, creative and commercial skills that the modern publishing industry and teaching requires, providing our learners with a route into the jobs market, to further study or the confidence to set up as a freelance. The course is designed for students to work across different genres and platforms and develop as versatile learners and professionals.
At level 4 they will be introduced to the key skills that have traditionally underpinned literary criticism (such as genre analysis, textual analysis, and writing for audiences), as well as those that are more akin to the publisher of today.
At level 5, students will build on this knowledge basis with a set of modules that work across the literary canon and draw on a range of codes and conventions, as well as introducing them to the work of the creatives in associated fields.
Moving into the final year, students will become more commercially aware, with employability a consistent factor. The focus therefore moves from understanding of genre to applying knowledge, know-how and career-focused ambitions.
The courses at University Centre Peterborough are studied in smaller class sizes compared with other universities, a typical class size is under 30 students.
