Bachelor of Arts Enhanced Program for High Achievers in Creative Writing

The variety of writing topics offered at Flinders will enable you to design a program to fulfil your needs. Creative writers are creative readers; they are also flexible writers, sensitive editors and lateral thinkers. Our topics can hone your skills so that even if you do not intend to become a novelist or poet, you will be an adept professional in the workplace. The core aim of the creative writing major is to develop in students the creative, practical, critical and collaborative skills necessary to pursue a career in the communication and creative industries or to advance to Honours or higher degree study. These core skills will be complemented by the skills and knowledge acquired by students taking related literary studies topics in addition to those in other Bachelor of Arts disciplines. This major will develop flexible, independent thinkers capable of analysing problems from different perspectives and of critical evaluation of their own and their peers' work.
