COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Bachelor of Arts will equip you for today’s rapidly changing world, allowing you to develop skills and capacities necessary to understand how the world has come to be the way it is today. The creative writing major equips you with skills and strategies to refine your writing, helping you express ideas in imaginative ways that will impact your readers. In the digital age, writing is becoming more central to the way we communicate with each other.

This course is designed to teach you to think about image, scene and story. Core subjects will teach you the foundation for editing, writing across borders, genre and form, contemporary theory and research practice and you will explore social justice and children’s literature. In addition to your creative writing major, you must elect a minor or a second major from the Faculty of the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities. Creative writing pairs well with a major in English literatures, languages, indigenous studies or philosophy.

Students will work on a major project allowing them to develop a significant piece of creative content on completion of their degree. Various artist and writer-in-residence programs take place throughout your degree, and you will be encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities, facilitate public readings, perform your written work and pursue publication. There are opportunities to combine writing genres and explore the intersections between writing and other creative disciplines.

Creative writers work in a range of areas: poetry, editing, writing for multimedia, commercial and content writing, commercial theatre and performance, short stories and novels, or even in ways that combine or challenge these forms.
