Undergraduate Foundation Pathway in Humanities, Social Sciences and Education - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - English with Creative Writing (with Placement year)

LBIC offers University Foundation Studies for candidates who do not meet the direct entry criteria or hold high school qualifications that are not recognised. Upon successful completion of the pathway programme students will progress onto Brunel University London.

Brunel offers one of the most highly regarded creative writing courses in the UK, with many staff members active as novelists, writers for performance, or as cultural critics. Through them students will learn and practice the fundamentals of writing in a variety of forms including poetry and film.

After a first year of introductory writing modules with options in literature to develop students' critical reading, their exploration in English and creative writing is very much down to their own interests.

In years two and three a wealth of optional modules are offered, covering every period and genre in literature from Shakespeare to Austen, comedy to horror and world literature, alongside further writing options in journalism and modern fiction.

Throughout the course students will be encouraged to express their own thoughts and creativity in their coursework and seminars, which will help them to grow as a critic and writer.
