Course Description
Course overview
Would you love to see your name in print? Are you curious about the creative industries? Or maybe there’s a poem or novel in you that's waiting to come out?
If you want to develop your creative work alongside studying a broad range of English literature, language and drama, this course is for you. The work in English studies will strengthen your creative writing; then in your second and third years there’s flexibility to specialise in the areas you enjoy most, including fiction and poetry.
You’ll spend two thirds of your time on English studies, and one third on creative writing. This includes learning about the process of writing and publishing from expert staff who are published poets and authors themselves. We also host guest talks from award-winning writers, and Nottingham is a UNESCO City of Literature, meaning inspiration is never far away.
