Creative Writing research

Creative Writing is taught at the University of Hertfordshire as a part of the School of Humanities undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

What we do

• Publish creative work in fiction, poetry and drama.
• Combine creative writing practice with teaching.
• Engage with community projects.
• Explore the practical and interdisciplinary applications of Creative Writing.
• Combine heritage and creative applications in outreach projects, working with local museums and schools.
