Certificate in Higher Education: Creative Writing

This stimulating, flexible programme of study is designed to help you develop your skills in the craft of writing, as you build a portfolio of work. You can gain credits module-by-module, at your own pace – and at no cost beyond the usual course fees.

Is it for me? 

If you enjoy creative writing and would like to take several of our courses, then this could be for you!

The Certificate has been designed to build up to a solid grounding in the practice of creative writing and its many possibilities. It also encourages students to enhance their critical skills, to reflect on their writing and identify an audience for their work.

The award provides recognition of students’ achievements in the field. Some students also decide to take their studies further and use the Certificate (along with the portfolio of work) to unlock study at a higher level. 

You have five years to complete your studies and within that time you can take the modules flexibly, at your own pace. Not all modules are on offer each year, but we ensure that they are made available over a period of time.
