Course Overview

Combine your passion for writing and film at a university with a strong heritage in both. This exciting course invites you to be part of the University’s thriving literary and creative scene.

You’ll develop confidence in your writing through core skills and techniques, experimenting with forms including scriptwriting, non-fiction, short stories, novel, and poetry, as well as genres from fantasy and science fiction to myth and fairy tale. You’ll learn how to approach film and television as art, history, culture, entertainment, and commerce.

Our staffs are creative practitioners and experts in their field, fans of the creative arts as much as they are enthusiastic tutors and academics.

At Hull, you'll benefit from a range of opportunities outside of your studies. In creative writing, you can get involved with our active, student-led English Society and Write HU, as well as participate in termly Writing Showcases celebrating our students' work.

And in the film - there are opportunities to experience placement. This could be through our involvement with Screen Yorkshire's Connected Campus: a scheme that can help prepare you for life in the film and TV industry through masterclasses, workshops, and visiting speakers.

Creativity lives and breathes at the University of Hull. Always has done, always will. It’s central to what universities do. But at Hull, we’re building something that goes far beyond our four walls.
