The University of Chester is fortunate to have a number of highly successful published writers of fiction and poetry in the Department, who can share their insights with students. The Department’s commitment to contemporary literature, and its contacts with eminent authors, allow them to place students' degree studies in Creative Writing in an exciting wider context. They will also give students guidance on how they can get their work published, so that they can share their success with others.

There is a large emphasis on practical work at the University of Chester. They have a wide range of modular choices, and students have a number of options as they develop a range of skills over the course of their degree.  So whether students want to be a performer, a director, a facilitator or a project manager, in their final year there's an opportunity for them to specialise in their chosen profession within the creative industries.
