Course summary

Our BA (Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing combines literary criticism with the craft of writing. Youll have some flexibility to tailor your learning to the type of writing you feel most passionate about, with a choice of critical or creative assignments appearing on most modules.In workshops, youll critique a range of literary styles, genres and movements – from Shakespeare and Dickens to Gothic, modernism and magical realism. Youll look at how writers have transformed the portrayal of the world and reshaped the ways we think about literature and about the human condition. You will also delve into contemporary issues, such as cultural identities, the climate emergency and Anthropocene. There are modules on childrens literature and post-colonial fiction too. If youre thinking of a career in English teaching, you will be curriculum-ready. And if your dream is to be a writer or to go into the creative industries, well provide opportunities that will help you to build a portfolio and professional networks.Youll gain insight into the world of publishing through our practice-led module, Writing for Publication, which walks you through the editorial process from first draft to getting published. The teaching is delivered through workshops, where lecturers will introduce you to techniques before you apply them. A creative writing session might focus on drafting or editing, producing a quick treatment of a story, or creating a character or setting. A literary-critical session typically delivers small segments of interactive lecture information, directly followed by the practical application of concepts to the analysis of text.CareersThrough this degree, you will develop lots of skills, including the ability to think critically, be an effective communicator and show creative flair. This gives you access to a wide range of professions, such as communications, marketing, content creation, journalism and the media.It is also a solid foundation if you want to pursue an academic or writing career.If you are considering becoming a teacher, our Institute of Education can support your application, whether you apply to Staffordshire University or elsewhere for your teacher training. Application, interview and presentation days will help you to prepare for the selection process.
