BA (Hons) English Literature and Creative Writing

at University of Gloucestershire

You’ll develop skills in different writing strands – including prose, poetry and drama – both from a creative and critical perspective. As you progress, you can explore specialisms like genre and crime fiction, sci-fi, autobiography and American literature.

We’re a close-knit community and our students benefit from a high level of support. The course includes a mix of lectures, seminars and one-to-one tutorials – all taught by professional authors and research-active academics. In lectures, you’ll learn the fundamentals of good writing by studying the greats, both classic and contemporary. In workshops, you’ll develop your own stories, plays, novels and poems. Regular writing workshops mean you can share your work with peers and get their feedback.
