Writing and English Literatures allows you to combine your love of writing with the analytics of literature. English literatures will challenge you to think creatively about the English language and give you the knowledge and understanding to express these thoughts and ideas through your own creative writing.

Writing and English Literatures at UOW focuses on the study of literature from various periods and literary practice, and the practical application of this study through creative writing. You will be exposed to a wide range of texts, which will allow you to develop analytical skills, critical understanding and the ability to create your own pieces of writing.

What you will study
Core subjects will introduce you to creative writing and English literature through workshop-based writing classes, as well as classes focussing on the Romantics, the modernists, Shakespeare and early modern drama. Writing and English Literatures pairs well with a major in Languages, Indigenous Studies or Philosophy.
