Overview

This page covers Creative Writing (including a Foundation Year) across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Creative Writing lets you specialise in a period, an author or a region in the later stages.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £14,950 a year.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.

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.

  • Copywriter
  • Editor or editorial assistant
  • Content writer or strategist
  • Author or poet

  • Education and self-employment
After the course

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