Bachelor of Creative Arts - Creative Writing (001709K) at University of Wollongong: Tuition: $27,408.00 AUD/year (Scholarship Available)

A Bachelor of Creative Arts at UOW encourages students to immerse themselves creatively, critically and practically. The Creative Industries is one of the fastest-growing, most dynamic sectors in the world.

In the digital age, writing is becoming more and more central to the way we communicate with each other. The Bachelor of Creative Arts (Creative Writing) teaches skills and strategies so their writing is strong and clear. It helps students express ideas in imaginative ways that will impact their readers. Creative writers work in a range of 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 always drawing on the human condition, exploring what it means to be human.

This course is designed to teach students to think about their story, image and scene. Creative writers draft and re-draft so their work is at its best, and this process is exciting.

Core subjects will teach students the foundation for editing, writing across borders, genre and form, contemporary theory and research practice and students will explore social justice and children's literature. 

Students will work on a major project that will allow students to develop a significant piece of creative content on completion of their degrees. Various artist and writer-in-residence programs take place throughout their degrees and students will be encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities, facilitate public readings, perform their written work and pursue publication. There are opportunities to combine writing genres and explore the intersections between writing and other creative disciplines.
