This creative writing degree uses the study of great writing from different periods and cultures to help you grow as a writer.

Our degree in creative writing explores the written word across a wide variety of forms and genres. As well as studying fiction and poetry, you'll produce work for stage and screen and for online media.

With option modules, you can expand your studies to include a foreign language or specialise in particular fields of writing, such as journalism. By the end of the course, you should have your own writing style and creative process and have the ability to critically analyse the writing of others.

Popular career options for our creative writing graduates range from professional writing, research and journalism to publishing and arts administration.

The skills you acquire through studying our courses will prepare you for careers in a wide range of industries and jobs. Creative writing graduates have gone on to careers in research, journalism, publishing, the media, arts administration or in central or local government. You might even become a professional writer.

Postgraduate courses are available at the University of Greenwich if you wish to continue your study, or if you're considering roles in teaching or social work.
