BA (Hons) Creative Writing and English

You’ll hone your writing craft through practical workshops and seminar discussions. Developing core skills in characterisation, storytelling and creating a sense of place. And you'll experiment with different genres and forms. From fantasy and science fiction, to scriptwriting and short stories, to poetry and non-fiction. You’ll also gain a solid grounding in English and American literature. From the medieval and Renaissance eras through to #MeToo and Black Lives Matter. You’ll cover a wide range of poetry, short fiction, drama and novels. And you’ll debate urgent issues including the environment and social justice. There’s a strong culture of taking writing beyond the course. Through performances, showcases, podcasts and publication projects, you’ll have opportunities to connect your work with wider audiences and creative communities, building on a tradition of student-led writing at Hull.
