Why choose this course?
Both creative and professional writing and law require high-calibre, sophisticated communication. This double degree will strongly develop your writing skills which can be applied through your law studies and in future careers.
In the creative writing component of the course, units include script writing, short stories, persuasive writing, creative non-fiction writing, poetry, corporate writing, youth and children’s writing, and the publishing industry.
