BA (Hons) Creative and Professional Writing

... United Kingdom
... Canterbury Christ Church University-CCCU

Course Overview

During the course, you’ll dive into creative forms such as fiction, poetry, drama, and game narratives. You’ll gain the essential skills for good writing: control of language, precision, imagination, and a deep understanding of the context in which you write.

Great writers are great readers, and this course is underpinned by a thorough grounding in the literature and ideas that have shaped the contemporary writing scene. In addition to discussing texts in class, you’ll have the opportunity to attend a range of author talks and readings, offering you contact with exciting writers and other industry professionals who will help to inspire your career plans.

The course aims to develop a range of skills that will prepare you for employment as a writer in a variety of fields: journalism, advertising, publishing, and marketing. However, the Creative and Professional Writing degree also opens up opportunities to work in a range of administrative or managerial settings, as well as in public sector roles such as teaching. For entrepreneurial students, we teach essential skills for working freelance or running a small business. This course also provides a great foundation for further study toward a professional qualification, for example in journalism, business, or marketing.
