Description

There is no better way to develop confidence and skill in writing and communication than to study with practising writers, linguists and critics. On this course you will be studying with an extremely well qualified team of tutors, whose work has been recognised both nationally and internationally. Guided by your tutors, you will explore many new kinds of literature and new ways of reading, as well as learning how language works and shapes our lives. In addition, there is the opportunity to observe the real processes involved in literary creation, alongside novelists, poets and playwrights who work within the department. Every student receives personal attention and support with their studies, as well as being able to explore for themselves the extensive cultural resources of Chichester, which boasts the prestigious Festival Theatre and the nationally renowned New Park Film Club. Recent critical publications by staff include Death and Fantasy: Essays on George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, Philip Pullman and R.L. St venson (Dr Bill Gray), The Culture of Death (Dr Ben Noys) and Revolutions in Taste: Women's Writing, Politics and Aesthetics 1771 - 1832 (Dr Fiona Price). Our students will be offered the opportunity to spend either one or two semesters studying in Canada.
