BA (Hons) Journalism and Creative Writing with Placement Year

This degree is for writers and audiovisual content creators who want the freedom to develop a broad skillset ready for a career as a multi-faceted professional; learning the craft from lecturers with real-world industry experience.

On this course, you’ll blend hands-on digital journalism practice with your creative writing skills for a range of fictional and non-fictional contexts: from screenwriting and poetry through to writing for games and children’s fiction, you’ll have the opportunity to elect options which suit your emerging interests and specialisms.

You’ll stretch your analytical skills researching national and international publications and multimedia to better understand the social, economic and cultural contexts at play, and thread this learning into your own work as an ethical and enterprising practitioner.
