... Falmouth University

Course Overview

Find your passion and pursue it. Investigate and specialise in forms including poetry, literature, children’s fiction, non-fiction, screenwriting and digital games. You’ll gain practical experience with our partners in publishing, literary festivals and professional writing; learning valued critical and technical skills.

You’ll read critically and widely, learning about historical and current literature and integrating this knowledge into your creative work. You’ll analyse and create, in equal measure, developing technical skills essential in any number of careers, including the literary and publishing industries.

You will:

  • Design and run a student-led collaborative project as part of your third year. Previous projects have included producing illustrated anthologies, sitcoms and podcasts while working in collaboration with schools, charities and businesses

  • Attend our guest lecture series, where you’ll build relationships and contacts within all facets of the literary world

  • Participate in academic events, such as Falmouth Book Festival and the North Cornwall Book Festival

  • Take inspiration from The Lighthouse – the workspace at the heart of our community

  • Contribute your work to FalWriting, our student-led online magazine

  • Use our state-of-the-art Soundhouse and edit suites to record audience-ready productions
