This course enables students to combine an in-depth study of human language with the development of their own creative writing skills, and represents a rare opportunity to pursue both a scientific and aesthetic approach to language; writing skills in various genres (the novel, the short story, poetry, drama, professional writing) are fostered within a structured programme that is enhanced by the theoretical study of the structure, meaning and sound systems of languages in general; students' understanding of the ways in which language is used is deepened by work with specific examples of verbal art in English; this particular combination is suitable for those interested in language as a defining characteristic of humans, and who are keen to pursue a career in a field that involves a substantial element of engagement with the verbal arts.
