University of Greenwich Literature Programs

The University of Greenwich’s degree in creative writing and English literature explores literature, drama, poetry, fiction, visual art and theatre, mostly from 1800 onwards. Students will examine the works themselves and the social and historical contexts in which they were written. The creative writing aspects of the course complement this, enabling them to focus on writing fiction, poetry, performance writing, playwriting, screenwriting and journalism.

Popular career options for their creative writing and English literature graduates include professional writing, research, teaching, journalism, publishing and arts administration. Students can continue their studies or move into areas such as teaching with one of their postgraduate degrees.
