We are once again supporting the City College Norwich Access to HE course; if you are interested please peruse the details below, and do watch out for news from previous years' students, which will be coming soon.
Access to HE - Creative Writing
School/Department: School of Creative Arts
Course Level: Level 3
Course Description:
The essential aims of the course are to make writing practices, contexts and applications accessible to a wide range of participants. To do this the course is structured so as to initially give writing experiences as diverse as possible, and then encourage individual specialisation along one of two strands: writing for performance or writing for publication.
Within this remit the course will teach core skills: knowledge of genres, literary and social contexts, critical awareness, close-reading skills. It will also apply these skills within contemporary and popular forms: song lyrics, children's fiction, writing for the web and games. Furthermore, whether traditional or contemporary, the delivery method will focus on the experimental, often using the interdisciplinary arts expertise that the School has readily available in key related disciplines.
