Course programme

Your writing modules will fall broadly into three categories: Craft of Writing modules, Reading as a Writer modules, and Working as a Writer modules. Craft modules focus on you as a writer and are designed to help you explore your creative imagination whilst developing the skills required to express it. Reading as a Writer modules are designed teach you how to read with an eye for technique: the emphasis here will be on what you can learn from other writers across a spectrum of styles and genres. Working as a Writer modules have a vocational dimension and offer the opportunity to develop skills that will enhance your employability as a writer.

The English modules that form part of this programme offer a diversity of approaches to literature and language. At Year One they provide a stimulating introduction to the study of English, teaching the knowledge and skills you will require in order to study the topic at degree level. At Years Two and Three modules become more specific, taking a cutting edge critical approach to such topics as: literary influence and the canon, literary theory, literature and class, American literature, Victorian literature, literature and travel, sex gender and language, and modernism.
