Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Creative Writing and History (2J88)

Creative Writing at Liverpool Hope University will give students the chance to experience the joys of crafting the written word. The degree focuses on developing them as a writer of poetry and prose (fiction and creative non-fiction), across the broad field of literature (poems, short stories, novels, reflective and critical essays). Professional writing - reviews, blogs and articles for different kinds of media - is also studied. The university's focus on creativity and employability means students will be able to produce engaging, innovative and marketable texts.

By studying Creative Writing, students will be empowered with an enhanced command of their craft, increased confidence in expressing their thoughts and emotions, an understanding of the values that inform their writing practice, and the technical skillset to deliver their work to various audiences. Students' writing will be enhanced by studying under leading published writers and academics, and they will develop a range of workplace skills to prepare for fulfilling careers.

The study of History helps students to understand how individuals, communities and societies have lived in the past and how those past experiences have helped to shape the present world. History helps everyone make sense of the world and understand what may lie ahead because the future is shaped by its history in so many ways. Liverpool Hope University's History degree gives students the opportunity to study a wide-range of historical periods from the Early Modern period to more recent contemporary historical events.
