Staff + Student LoginWriting Studies
Effective writing and the critical and analytical skills it demands is an essential aspect of a university education. Taken either as a stand-alone major or as a supporting subject, Writing Studies will foreground critical and cultural awareness, develop an understanding of how language works, and foster the creativity and intellectual independence which are the prerequisites for excellent academic, professional and creative writing.
Writing Studies is available as a major for the BA. Writing Studies may also be taken as a second major or as a supporting subject within other undergraduate degrees, subject to academic approval of the Faculty or School of Studies in which the student is enrolled. Within the BA and BMCT a Creative Writing specialisation is also available. Details of the specialisation requirements can be obtained from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
To complete a major in Writing Studies, students must gain 120 points above 100 level in Writing Studies, including ENGL217, WRIT391 and at least 40 further points above 200 level of which at least 20 points must be from ENGL papers listed for the major.
