Creative and Professional Writing

London Met invests in you: from our purpose-built newsroom to our state-of-the-art superlab, we aim to create a stimulating and unique learning environment for our students. Our courses have received top marks from the UK's Quality Assurance Agency and many are accredited by a wide range of professional bodies. Our lecturers are leaders in their field: in the latest Research Assessment Exercise, over two-thirds of the University’s research output was judged to be world-leading, internationally excellent or internationally recognised.

We go the extra mile with our investment. We do this through our five-star promise, our pledge to connect our students with opportunities to boost their career skills. We put employability at the heart of our curriculum through helping you find placements, work experience and voluntary opportunities across a wide variety of organisations.

The course is staffed by successful industry professionals and academics (and many staff are both). Lecturers are well-published (they publish literary and critical as well as academic works) and are often practitioners within related industries (screenwriters, scriptwriters, novelists). The course benefits from an industry panel and includes opportunities for both accredited work-based learning and continual collateral engagement with industry.

The course encompasses forms of 'writing' that are not just script-based - for example it includes storyboarding, devising and designing. Relevant digital and estate and resources are available to develop these skills at a high level, eg performance studios, reporters’ rooms, relevant computer hardware and software.

Sophisticated, innovative, participative and exciting forms of learning and teaching will be used in the course alongside conventional methods. These will include workshops, devising exercises, individual and group presentations, readings, performances, blogs, storyboards, portfolios.
