Explore the power of stories while developing your own creative voice on our BA (Hons) English with Creative Writing degree. Combine the study of literature, culture and contemporary storytelling with hands-on creative practice across fiction, poetry, scriptwriting and digital media. Through workshops, seminars and industry-relevant learning, you’ll build the critical, creative and professional skills needed for careers in publishing, media, marketing, education and the wider creative industries. And, at Buckingham, one of the country’s smallest universities, we will know you as individuals and not faces in a crowded room. The BA (Hons) English Literature with Creative Writing programme combines the academic study of literature with the practical development of creative writing skills. You will explore a broad range of literary texts from different historical periods, genres, and cultural traditions while also producing original writing in forms such as fiction, poetry, scriptwriting, and creative non-fiction. The programme encourages students to develop critical, analytical, and creative abilities through lectures, seminars, and workshop-based learning. By studying literary works alongside your own creative practice, you’ll gain an understanding of how writing techniques, language, and narrative forms shape meaning and engage audiences. Throughout the course, students build skills in textual analysis, research, communication, editing, and independent thinking. Creative workshops provide opportunities for experimentation, peer feedback, and reflective development, helping you to refine your own writing style and voice. Assessment methods typically include essays, creative portfolios, presentations, examinations, and independent projects. In the final stage of the programme, students may complete a dissertation or extended creative writing project that demonstrates both critical understanding and creative achievement.
