BA (Hons) Creative Writing

at Edge Hill University

As a writer, you are an artist and a craftsperson. Our creative writing degree gives you the tools and skills you need to grow into the best writer you can be.

During the course, you experiment with different kinds of writing. You’ll create original poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. We’ll help send your imagination soaring in writing scripts and narratives for stage, screen and games.

We encourage you to challenge yourself. You’ll learn to analyse and edit your own work to make your writing better: an ability every good writer must develop.

We are proud of our supportive Edge Hill writing community. It has helped students like you achieve their potential for over thirty years. Our teaching team consists entirely of published writers, so understand what it’s like to start a writing career. Our visiting professionals – writers, producers, editors, poets, dramatists – love to share their knowledge. We all work together so you can succeed.
