English Language and Creative Writing (Foundation Entry)
Course Summary
**Course Overview**
- Develop the tricks and techniques to produce short stories, poetry and play scripts on our English Language and Creative Writing Foundation Entry course.
- Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree.

- You could also choose to specialise in the related areas of media, forensic and political discourse, or the nuts and bolts of language by choosing syntax, phonology and morphology. You’ll develop your writing in a range of genres, including short stories, poetry, plays and radio and film scripts.
