Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Creative Writing and English Language (QW38)

The Creative Writing and English Language BA combines the opportunity to improve writing skills with the development of a thorough knowledge and understanding of the structure, history and usage of the English language. In addition to studying how the language works in its spoken and written forms, and the different kinds of English that exist today, the course provides structured support and guidance in the development of writing skills in various genres (the novel, the short story, poetry, drama, and non-fictional writing). Knowledge and understanding of English will be enhanced by focusing on its aesthetic possibilities. This particular combination is suitable for those interested in pursuing a career in any field that involves the highly skilled use of language, such as publishing or journalism, professional writing, or teaching. Students could also go on to a career that includes teaching related to language or creative writing.
