Ysgrifennu Creadigol a'r Diwydiant Cyhoeddi

The BA Ysgrifennu Creadigol a'r Diwydiant Cyhoeddi at Aberystwyth University is an exciting course that will allow you to develop your creative skills and get to know the creative world in Wales and beyond in all its variety.

You will have the opportunity to:

• try your hand at a variety of different creative forms, from poetry to prose, to drama, and scripting
• specialise in creative forms of your choice
• be trained by lecturers who are also world-renowned poets and authors
• understand the nature of the industry which will provide you with a variety of career paths, not only as published authors, but as professional people in the field of promoting and nurturing literature.

There are three available pathways: 

• first language pathway with A-level
• second language pathway
• first language pathway without A-level.  

Join us on this course and let us lead you into a creative world in a location like no other where you will develop a thorough understanding of the world of creative writing and the publishing industry. You will have an opportunity to try your hand at a variety of different creative forms, from micro-literature to ekphrastic literature, while developing the ability to use them purposefully in the creative process. In addition to that, you will be introduced to the wide field of the publishing industry in Wales and beyond, with a particular focus on publishers and key agencies such as Literature Wales and the Books Council of Wales. 

All our academic staff are scholars who are active researchers and specialists in their respective fields, including publishing literature, editing and proof reading, and creative translation. On this course, you will benefit from the support of a Creative Writing lecturer who is a published poet and author. We also have strong links with publishers and local literary bodies and are part of a wider creative community for that reason. You’ll be able to take advantage of these links through undertaking a relevant work placement, eg with an editor or an editorial service, a publishing house or independent publisher. 

Public literature experiences will also play an important role in this degree and will provide a lively stage for the activities of the course, eg Kicking the Bar – a quarterly literary event at the Arts Centre, the yearly Noson Llên a Chân (Literature and Song NIght), and the literary magazine, Y Ddraig (The Dragon).
