Course overview

This course examines not only the craft of writing, but also how the publishing industry works. Throughout the course, you will develop a creative writing portfolio alongside studying trends in the industry.

Our Penrhyn Road campus is a hive of activity, housing our fantastic new Town House, with four floors of study space and our extensive library, the main student restaurant, and a host of teaching rooms and lecture theatres. At the heart of the campus is the John Galsworthy building, a six-storey complex that brings together lecture theatres, flexible teaching space and information technology suites around a landscaped courtyard.

The creative writing element of this course is workshop-led and provides the opportunity to specialise in the genre of your choice. The publishing element focuses on marketing-led commercial and trade publishing, industry structure and core skills.

When the time comes to complete your final assessment, you may choose to pursue a creative writing dissertation, a publishing dissertation or undertake a practical publishing project.
