This module, which will run over 3 terms, requires students to produce an extended piece of writing in the form of a Creative Writing Dissertation, recognising the distinct nature of the combined practical and analytical processes in which they have been involved during the various stages of the programme by including both a creative and an investigative writing component.
For the creative writing component, students will be able to choose between any of the genres studied during the degree (ie, including "writing for the media" or "writing for children") - thus having the opportunity to consolidate preparatory, writing, editing and self-assessment skills. For the investigative component, they will be expected to demonstrate an ability to place their own writing - as process and product - in a wider literary and cultural context.
