There are few better places to study Drama and Creative Writing than Liverpool, with its many theatres and a rich tradition of producing some of the country’s best-known playwrights. 

You will have an opportunity to write in your preferred genre and to perform, of course, but you will also learn stage management and direction, specialising as the degree progresses. This is a practice-orientated course with a very successful retention rate and run by staff with professional theatre experience as well as published writers.

LJMU’s strong links with theatres, TV companies, publishers and arts organisations mean that you will have a wide choice of work placement opportunities, as well as being able to collaborate on some creative projects.

This BA (Hons) degree equips you with key transferable skills in performance, presentation and interpersonal communication – all of which are highly valued by employers. 

Some have published novels, while others have gone on to work for publishing houses or taken up editorial positions on newspapers or magazines.
