CREATIVE WRITING

Liverpool, a city of poets and storytellers, is the perfect place to study a Creative Writing degree. With Merseyside’s distinctive literary culture, you will be taught by writers, poets, and academics who are closely connected to the local writing community and recognised internationally for their work.

This Creative Writing course focuses on developing your craft in poetry, prose, and professional writing, spanning fiction, creative nonfiction, reviews, blogs, and media writing. You will learn how to produce engaging, innovative, and marketable texts while enhancing your creativity and employability.

By studying Creative Writing, you will gain confidence in your voice, technical skills to reach diverse audiences, and an appreciation of forms, genres, and applications. Supported by practising writers and enriched by field trips, public readings, open mics, and literary magazines, the Creative Writing degree challenges you to grow as a writer and prepares you for fulfilling creative careers.

DANCE

This dance degree is designed to achieve excellence in dance, focusing on performance and choreographic practices that shape you into an adaptable, reflexive, and independent dance artist. Throughout the dance course, you will foster creativity, develop your signature practice, and engage with a diverse range of techniques and theories to build knowledge, skills, and understanding.

With project-based learning, professional placements, and opportunities for large-scale performances, the dance course offers hands-on experience in multiple contexts. You will regularly create and perform work across professional platforms, touring, community, and educational settings. This dance degree also connects creative practice with the wider historical, philosophical, and cultural frameworks of the field, establishing dance as a discipline that continues to influence and inform Performance Studies today.
