Module Overview:
This module introduces you to the Creative Writing Team's research expertise and culture, giving you the opportunity to benefit from research informed teaching at the very earliest stage in your university academic life. The course will be divided into sessions led by different tutors, and each will pick a particular subject or technique for which they hold a passion that informs their own approach to creative writing in which they have a market specialism or specific interest. Sessions might concern fashion, food, puppets, or narrative song-writing. You will be encouraged to widen your interests in the given subjects, move outside familiar and existing interests, and thus research and develop creative work from these new experiences.
