Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: Q3WL

Here's what Bangor University says about its English Language with Creative Writing course.

Studying English Language with Creative Writing gives you a deeper understanding of how the English language works - enhancing your writing skills and your ability to express yourself fully and clearly.

You will learn about the characteristics that build a language, including its grammar, vocabulary, syntax, phonetics and semantic structure. This provides a solid understanding of language construction, namely the rules and patterns that govern its use. It incorporates how languages function, evolve and shape human communication and society.

Studying and practising writing across a range of genres, forms, and media experience, spanning the traditional through to the experimental, helps you find new ways to engage with diverse audiences. You’ll discover new ways of thinking about texts, from critical exploration to creative involvement, while learning about the publishing industry and the ways in which texts are produced, marketed and distributed. You will have opportunities to draw inspiration and learn lessons from past and current practitioners – published writers, poets, academics, researchers and linguists.

‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.

If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see English Language and English Literature (with Foundation Year) QQCF.
