You’ll gain insight into society, culture and politics by developing an understanding of the power of language while receiving a thorough grounding in research methods and practices. Full flexibility means you can choose to focus on the writers, or forms of writing, that most interest you while tailoring this course to your interests in either Creative Writing, English Literature, or both.

We generally consider a Bachelors degree awarded by a nationally recognised higher education institution in the USA to be comparable to a UK Bachelor Honours degree. Lower second-class (2.2) equivalent GPA 2.8 out of 4 Upper second-class (2.1) equivalent GPA 3.2 out of 4
