A Bachelor of Creative Arts at UOW encourages you to immerse yourself creatively, critically and practically.
The Creative Industries is one of the world's fastest-growing, most dynamic sectors.
In the digital age, writing is becoming more and more central to how we communicate.
The Bachelor of Creative Arts (Creative Writing) teaches skills and strategies so your writing is strong and clear.
It helps you express ideas in imaginative ways that will impact your readers.
Creative writers work in various areas: poetry, editing, writing for multimedia, commercial and content writing, commercial theatre and performance, short stories and novels, or even in ways that combine or challenge these forms.
Creative writers might write to entertain or to educate – but they’re constantly drawing on the human condition, exploring what it means to be human.
This course teaches you to think about your story, image and scene. Creative writers draft and re-draft so their work is at its best, and this process is exciting.
What you will study
Core subjects will teach you the foundation for editing, writing across borders, genre and form, contemporary theory and research practice, and you will explore social justice and children's literature.
You will work on a major project that will allow you to develop a significant piece of creative content upon completing your degree.
Various artist and writer-in-residence programs take place throughout your degree, and you will be encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities, facilitate public readings, perform your written work and pursue publication.
There are opportunities to combine writing genres and explore the intersections between writing and other creative disciplines.
