Overview

With a real emphasis upon employability, the Creative and Professional Writing with Foundation Year (Hons) programme at University of Wolverhampton is passionate about nurturing new voices and encourage you to explore the subjects and stories you want to write about.

It is why our programme is specifically designed to enable you to take ownership over your own learning from Level 5, giving you the choice of pursuing a specific learning pathway in a particular medium to develop your expertise – poetry, prose, professional – or to continue with the traditional piecemeal approach.
