Bachelor of Creative Arts (Creative Writing)
University of Wollongong - Wollongong
Overview
You will immerse yourself creatively, critically and practically when you study creative arts at UOW. As you learn alongside experts in their fields, you will explore themes in the creative industries that are impacting the changing creative landscape and helping drive the digital economy.
In the digital age, writing is becoming more and more central to the way we communicate with each other. The Bachelor of Creative Arts (Creative Writing) teaches skills and strategies to ensure your writing is strong and clear, and express ideas in imaginative ways that will impact your readers. Creative writers might write to entertain or to educate – but they’re always drawing on the human condition, exploring what it means to be human.
You will be inspired by our campus, the depth of expertise in the humanities, your fellow students and the experienced, published authors and academics teaching you. You will complete common theory and practice-based work complemented by your major in creative writing. Throughout this degree, you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, develop your portfolio and make meaningful professional connections.
