Why study English and Creative Writing?

Being skilled in writing is an increasingly rare thing, but is and will always be a skill that businesses and people need every day. From a wide range of careers in professional writing, to being an author and giving people the satisfaction that can only come from reading a great novel, studying English and Creative Writing can open a lot of doors.

As with a lot of creative interests, writing is a skill set that is improved by exposing yourself to different writers from different cultures and backgrounds and with different perspectives, styles and focusses. Immersing yourself in literature and the practice of writing will help you develop your talents to the highest standards.
