Bachelor of Arts

Description

The unit will offer the student the opportunity to develop an existing strength in either prose writing and/or poetry. The work of established writers in both genres will be the starting point for workshops where students will be able to explore a range of themes and styles. For more intensive development, as the unit proceeds, students will concentrate on either prose or poetry according to preference.
