Overview

Creative Writing BA is one of the routes we place students on most often, and it is offered widely enough that there is usually a fit whatever your profile looks like. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Creative Writing develops analytical writing alongside the subject knowledge itself. We currently work with 39 universities on this course across 28 cities.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £15.500 to £32.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.

Careers opportunities

Very few graduates support themselves by writing books, and the degree is more usefully seen as a craft apprenticeship with a network. Copywriting, editorial and content work are where the reliable income is.

Roles graduates go into

  • Copywriter
  • Editor or editorial assistant
  • Content writer or strategist
  • Author or poet
  • Script or games writer
  • Creative writing tutor

Where they work

  • Publishing and literary agencies
  • Advertising and content agencies
  • Media and broadcasting
  • Games and interactive narrative
  • Education and self-employment
After the course

No register. A finished manuscript, published pieces and an agent are what advance the writing half.
