The BA in English Literature with Creative Writing offers a focused creative writing track within an English Literature program, where 25% of your coursework involves fiction and poetry writing. This program explores English literature from its earliest texts to contemporary works. The creative writing portion emphasizes developing skills in fiction and poetry, teaching writing techniques, the art of revision, and the value of giving and receiving constructive criticism. Creative writing classes are conducted in intimate workshop settings. Students will frequently compose original poems and stories, study works by published authors, and analyze modern poetry and fiction. The curriculum includes in-class writing activities and workshop fundamentals. Additionally, you'll join Manchester University's vibrant literary community, located in a UNESCO City of Literature renowned for its influential authors and dynamic arts culture, featuring events such as the Manchester Literature Festival.
