Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Creative and Professional Writing with English Literatures University of Wolverhampton - City Campus, UK

This is one of only a few courses in the UK that offers English Literatures with Creative and Professional Writing. You will have the opportunity to engage with a Learning Pathway choosing either Poetry, Prose, Professional or Specialist Writings via a range of optional modules at Level 5. These pathways are designed to both enable you to take ownership over your learning and become more specialist within your writing practice, and work as complementary to English Literatures modules. Some modules are interdisciplinary in their nature and delivery; others will offer you the opportunity to study writers of the region as your potential contemporaries, or to explore a form that can enhance written practice in terms of genre. There are also modules that will offer insight into the multicultural literary landscape that now delineates the publishing industry. This will not only better prepare you for industry and working within literary fields, but you will be equipped with the tools for the business of writing and to manage a portfolio career.
