B.A. Creative Writing and Fine Art

Working in the heart of Wales you will have the benefits of all this on your doorstep – an environment that students from further afield can only experience on the occasional “writer’s retreat”. And of course, given our magnificent setting and vibrant culture, we offer you extensive opportunities to engage with the culture and language of Wales; you can learn through the medium of Welsh and English and an appreciation of the potential for experimentation with language is part of the central ethos of this degree.
Naturally, Creative Writing at Aberystwyth promotes the value of creativity in the workplace as a skill and a mindset with immeasurable application. As well as developing your creative work in a broad range of modes - fiction, poetry, advertising, writing for stage, screen and radio - our experienced team of practitioners will guide you in developing and recognizing life-long skills that will be the cornerstone of your future successes as a writer and beyond.
