| What you study | Creative Writing | Creative WritingDesignJournalismMedia and Communication Studies |
| What it is | You study the craft of writing fiction, poetry, drama, and other creative forms, learning how to develop ideas, revise work, and understand what makes writing compelling. Unlike a general English program focused on analyzing literature, this one teaches you to create original work and get feedback from instructors and peers. It suits people who write regularly, enjoy imagining stories or experimenting with language, and want structured time to develop a portfolio. | Creative Industries is an interdisciplinary program that brings together writing, design, journalism, and media studies so you can understand how creative work actually gets made and distributed in the real world. Rather than studying each of these fields separately, you learn how they connect and influence each other across publishing, advertising, broadcasting, and digital platforms. It suits people who want to work in media, publishing, or design but aren't sure yet which specific role fits them best. |
