This combined major degree enables students to spend as much time on Creative Writing as they do on English Literature. This programme offers them a rigorous and inspiring study of Literature while Creative Writing workshops, lectures and readings help them to develop their own writing. The modules which make up a programme of study are assessed using a variety of different methods, enabling students to demonstrate their capabilities in a range of ways. Typical coursework assignments include laboratory reports, essays, literature reviews, short tests, short and sharply focused critical reports, poster sessions and oral presentations. Formal examinations include short answer questions, essays and data analysis. Multiple choice formats are also employed where appropriate. Students are supported in the production of final year project reports and dissertations. Many of our graduates have gone on to successful postgraduate study and careers in professional fields such as publishing, journalism, writing, television and the media, teaching, and librarianship. The transferable skills you gain on this degree - communication, self-expression, research and critical understanding - also open up a wide range of business and public-sector roles in areas such as marketing, advertising, law, social work and professional services.
