OVERVIEW

Everybody that teachers on this degree is an experienced writer, and we treat our students as writers from the moment they start; academics and students come together over their shared passion for writing and all who teach you will understand the joy that you will feel when you see your first poem, article, or story appear in print.

During your three years at Roehampton you’ll work with a range of published authors, journalists, copywriters, poets and screenwriters — all here for the sole purpose of helping you become the best writer that you can be. You will be part of a lively writing community that offers readings, a writers’ society and access to London’s rich creative scene, plus workshops with industry professionals from a range of writing specialisms.

Assessment is structured in a way that allows you to build a portfolio of your work as the course progresses, building to a valuable tool for job-hunting after graduation. There are also opportunities for work placements, and to study abroad in the second year.

At Roehampton you’ll have the opportunity to see your work in print long before graduation, because the university owns a publishing house, Fincham Press. Every year Fincham Press brings out an anthology of the best student writing, and it’s available to explore development opportunities for individual student publications. Fincham Press serves as an inspiring education and entry into the world of formal publishing. Click here to view a sample of current students' work published in May 2021, entitled All That Glitters.
