Overview
Through this English and Creative Writing (Hons) degree from Keele University you will build a wide range of skills that will prepare you for a variety of careers, with work placement opportunities providing insights into various industries.
Develop and refine your critical and creative practice through a study of contemporary and historic literature and the examination of texts as both a reader and a writer. On our English and Creative Writing degree, you will analyse texts to understand the cultures they’re part of and how these reflect, generate, or contradict ideas of their time, and experiment with writing in different literary forms. You will develop your ability to speak to a range of audiences via critical and creative texts, including poetry, fiction and screenwriting.
Throughout your degree you will build key skills in communication, creativity and critical thinking that help to build confidence, develop your analytical and communication skills and shape your writing style. Your studies will culminate in your final-year ‘English Project’ and ‘Creative Writing Project’, where with the support of an academic member of staff with relevant expertise you will complete an extended piece of research, or plan and develop a creative writing project.
Just as we encourage you to make the most of your time at Keele, we also prepare you for life after university, and even help you kick-start your own career. You’ll have the opportunity to engage with projects and placements, drawing on our extensive network of existing placement partners or using our support to find your own opportunity. This allows you to combine your degree programme with practical experience, apply your learning to real-world situations, and enhance your CV. You can also regularly hear from professional writers at Keele Hall’s reading events. There are opportunities to perform or publish your work at open mic events or in Keele's Creative Writing Anthology.
Career opportunities:
Throughout your degree programme, you will develop key transferable skills that you will apply to your career and develop further through employment. You will be able to demonstrate that you are an effective communicator and are able to share your ideas and contributions within the workplace environment as well as adapt to new situations with an open-minded approach.
