The last Creative Writing courses offered at the English Department are almost antient history.

We demand that this changes as soon as possible and creative writing courses become a regular part of our studies!

Reason

Creative writing...

  • is a vital tool and a natural bridge for good academic writing
  • improves general writing and communicative skills
  • offers language learners a strong sense of confidence in developing a love for and an interest in writing
  • enhances students' skills in critical thinking

Research shows that creative writing is healthier and more stimulating for the brain compared to academic writing. It can help expressing one's own thoughts and can offer students a different way to truly enjoy the art of writing.

Additionally creative writing can broaden the horizon of the students and provide a different access to a wide range of literature.
