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.
