Creative & Professional Writing

Fusing traditional and emerging forms of communication, our course prepares you for a career in the rapidly evolving discipline of creative & professional writing.

Realise your potential as a creative, professional writer in a climate of constructive challenge and personalised support, all set against the inspirational Cornish landscape.

Our course is focused on the individual learner and our unique adaptivity when it comes to allowing you to develop the skills essential to crafting your personalised career.

Throughout the three years, you will be working with a range of professionals including experienced lecturers, respected academics, published authors, small press publishers and acclaimed poets and script writers.

You will be based within the thriving community of Bodmin; the location affords you ample opportunity, not just for inspiration, but also to develop an appreciation for the important role that creative writing is afforded within the local culture.

As part of the course, you’ll be joining a pioneering group of writers seeking to bring professional writing to the fore in this unique setting within a dynamic Cornish community.

Working closely in a unique partnership with our Digital Media Centre, we offer collaboration which reflects the diverse and ever changing modern landscape of creative writing as a discipline. Our students are makers; they learn through creating and crafting with a view to real world applications. Supported by workshops and creative seminars, you’ll be introduced to a wide variety of narrative aspects and genres.

We are looking for fresh thinking contributors and we welcome applications from diverse educational backgrounds. Students with a passion for writing and literature as well as poets, dramatists, gamers and artists are at home in our dynamic, multi-disciplined degree course.

This course is taught by Bodmin College and awarded by Falmouth University.
