Courses
Dream of seeing your work in print, online or on stage? Our practical courses taught by professional writers at Edge Hill will help make this a reality. Learn about different writing styles and develop your own approach, then hone your skills on work placements with organisations like Edge Hill University Press or Crooked Dice Game Design Studio.
- Don’t just learn to write, learn to be a writer. With employability embedded throughout the course, we’ll show you how you can make a valuable contribution to the world of literature. 95% of our graduates are employed or studying after 15 months of finishing the course (Graduate Outcomes 2017/18).
- Progress through your degree by learning about different writing styles, developing professional habits (from keeping journals to editing), practising your art and finally specialising in an area you’re interested in.
- Our lecturers are published writers – they’ll teach you both writing theory and the practical skills you need for your career. And with our workshop model of teaching, you’ll have lots of individual support throughout the course.
