Understanding the intimate relationship between the literary and the creative, you’ll get to study English literature while developing knowledge and skill in critical and creative reflection and writing practice. Therefore you will be required to read, view, listen and write critically, professionally and creatively in response to a wide range of written, visual and other texts.
