Creative Writing and English with Foundation

About this programme

Our degree courses with Foundation year offer the opportunity to prepare you for advanced study before you progress onto a full honours degree at the University of Westminster. Whether you do not feel ready for degree-level study, don't have the right qualifications, want to change your subject specialism or return to study after an absence from education, we aim to encourage a broad range of students to undertake our Foundation year in order to progress onto their full honours degree with us. The Foundation year is designed to give you the opportunity to explore new ideas, opening up new perspectives on the key debates within your chosen field. Core modules accelerate your academic and professional development , bringing together like-minded students to think about the 'big ideas' within your discipline. You'll also take modules from areas closely related to your chosen field, giving you the chance to develop a cross-disciplinary perspective on your course. On successful completion of the Foundation year, you will be able to move on to study for the Creative Writing and English BA Honours degree over a further three years study. This course allows you to develop your knowledge and understanding of key periods, themes, styles and techniques in both Creative Writing and English studies, and to utilise your learning in both creative and critical forms. You’ll explore current priorities and debates in both subject areas, including developments in artificial intelligence, and learn via innovative and imaginative teaching methods.
