**Stories are at the heart of how we communicate and understand the world.**By studying Creative Writing at AUB you'll gain the skills to join the next generation of storytellers. Creative writing is becoming more and more important. Creative Writing is just as integral to arts and entertainment as it is to business and commerce.

Whether you want to create poems, film scripts or children’s fiction, we’ll help you turn writing into a career. **What you will learn**You’ll learn to draw inspiration from existing literature, before developing your own voice and honing your craft. Through a range of exciting projects, you’ll explore the whole writing process — from research to editing. With visits from published writers and industry professionals, you’ll explore career opportunities and build contacts, too.

When you graduate, you’ll have a strong portfolio, and a professional network to kickstart your career.The course will celebrate its exciting location within a specialist arts institution that promotes a strong maker/creator culture.
