**Overview**
Studying for a Joint Honours degree in Creative Writing and English Literature gives you the opportunity to combine your own development as a writer with academic study of literary texts in English. The two courses offer complementary yet contrasting approaches to thinking about writing and the dynamic, multi-faceted contexts of its production.
Creative Writing aims to nurture your confidence as a writer and to support your development as a critical and skilful analyst of writing. You'll also develop your commercial practice (writing for magazines, reviewing, scriptwriting, editing) and your understanding of the publishing industry. Studying English Literature allows you to develop skills in close and creative reading, theoretical concepts and a critical awareness of the relationship between texts and their contexts.
**Key features**
- The chance for students to publish their work from the very first week and throughout their undergraduate programme.
- Opportunities to play an active role in local and regional literature festivals, related events and a work project module.
- Study diverse literatures emanating from the sixteenth through to present day – and encompassing both ‘canonical’ and ‘marginal’ texts.
- Experience in writing for a range of digital, print, audio, visual and performance platforms.
- Tailor your course to your individual needs with a joint honours degree.
