English Language with Creative Writing BA (Hons)
Bangor , United Kingdom
Overview
About This Course
This English Language with Creative Writing course provides a fascinating opportunity to study two combination of distinct but related subjects. You will explore and examine how English works, why and how it is used, where it has come from while also developing skills in writing in a variety of forms. You will also study the structure of language and how it is used in society and explore creative writing in small groups or workshops led by research experts and published writers.
The English language component of this degree will give you the opportunity to learn about the grammatical structure of English (e.g., how words and sentences are formed), how meaning is made, interpreted and extended across whole discourses, how sounds are formed, produced, and understood, and how language use varies across speakers and groups and how it changes over time. You will also explore the history of English, the development and emergence English dialects and World Englishes, how English is used in society (e.g., how socio-cultural variables shape the use of English) and the role of English in society, in education and as a global lingua franca.
You will also develop with us as a creative writer by learning about writing in different genres, styles and modes. You will get the chance to share and discuss your own work with others, both staff and students, and grow as part of the university’s welcoming community of writers. There is also a vibrant cultural scene both in the university and beyond, with literary societies and groups for you to join as well as ways to share your creative work with a wider audience.
