Course Overview

Core Requirement for BA Hons Creative Writing
Elective Option for BA Hons Creative Arts*

This course is based on the mentoring and supervising model. There are no course materials as such. Instead students choose a tutor from OCA’s portfolio of advanced writing tutors and then work with their tutor to develop and agree their own personal programme. Thereafter, your tutor will be responding to the writing you produce as part of the agreed programme. You will be working at BA dissertation level on an extended piece of writing of your own choosing, increasing your appreciation of your genre, and developing high-level skills in researching, drafting, editing and presenting your work. We advise taking a Level 2 writing course before embarking on this programme but direct entry is possible for more experienced writers.
