BA Creative Writing and English with Foundation Year

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

BA Creative Writing and English with Foundation Year is ideal. In the heart of literary London, in a building that was once home to Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group, you will study with leading academics and celebrated published authors across the fields of fiction, poetry, and drama. You will also develop your knowledge and understanding of a wide range of literary writing in English, from the earliest times to the present day. This degree culminates in the opportunity to develop both extended creative and critical pieces under the guidance of award-winning writers. Before proceeding to the main degree, you will spend your Foundation Year preparing yourself for a degree in the arts by improving your study and research skills and gaining arts-related knowledge and understanding. You will also have the opportunity to study a language, should you wish to.
