Are you a passionate reader who enjoys writing? On this course you’ll grow from a passionate reader into a critical thinker and literary scholar; you’ll develop your practical and professional writing skills, look behind the scenes at how the media works, and get some hands-on experience that employers are really looking for. You’ll be equipped to use your skills powerfully across a whole range of modern-day media. We’ll introduce you to writers who will open doors to contemporary worlds and cultures, remote from your own, and help you explore more familiar literature in ways that challenge your preconceptions. This means you’ll study literature written in English by writers from all parts of the globe, whose voices are relevant and important in our modern world. You’ll also develop your journalistic skills in exciting ways: you’ll learn the different requirements of writing ‘news’ and ‘features’, while learning how to carry out research, conduct interviews, and structure your writing in order to get published. You’ll be taught by academic staff who bring fresh thinking to our accessible, engaging courses. Some are active researchers of international standing, who bring their own passion for their discipline into the classroom; others are dynamic teachers with extensive industry experience.
