COURSE DESCRIPTION

A creative arts degree immerses you in the creative industries, challenging you to think deeply and broadly about the changing world and the role the arts play within it.

The Bachelor of Creative Arts (Creative Writing) investigates the foundation for effective communication across multiple platforms and media, with an additional focus on professional editing.

Throughout this degree you will explore a diverse range of literary practices on your way to becoming a successful writer. Engage creatively and critically with many literary genres, including poetry, prose and scriptwriting, as you develop your own unique voice and style.

Core subjects will teach you the foundation for editing, writing across borders, genre and form, contemporary theory, and research practice. In addition to your creative writing major, you can choose to 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, philosophy or any other area where writing plays a key role.

There are also opportunities to combine writing genres and explore the intersections between writing and other creative disciplines, including visual art, music, theatre and performance.

In the final year of your degree, you will work on a major creative project with the goal of submitting it for professional publication. 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.
