Questions

I’m planning on doing an English Literature with Creative Writing undergraduate degree course, beginning in 2010. Initially, I just wanted to study English, but recently I’ve decided I would be better suited to English Literature with Creative Writing. Are there any universities that are especially good for English and creative writing? A lot of the universities I had previously been looking at don’t offer the course, and The Times University Guide only offers an English league table. All answers appreciated! (-:

Im based in London have worked as a secretary for more than 10 years and have an HND in Business Studies but am tired of admin work and office politics and would like to do something more creative- change careers.

I write in my spare time and have attended an advanced writing course for the past 3 years. I like reading and would like to see if I could train to teach creative writing in further education or and English /English literature. I would also be grateful if I could get any info on what qualifications you need to be able to teach English as a first language and Basic literacy skills.

Thanks
Any advice would be great regarding training in London.

I’m thinking of doing a BA in English literature combined with Creative Writing, I’m just worried that studying one of them might be more than enough, so I’d like to ask those with experience for some help in making this decision. I love reading and I recently found a possible potential within me of being a writer.

It needs to be an English Literature and Creative writing combined course.

I already know about the UEA.
