Applications for 2020 entry
As a result of COVID-19, the English and Creative Writing team want to assure all applicants that we will be commencing our teaching with the new academic year of September 2020. We’ll be heeding government advice, but please know our programmes will be running this autumn, be it as traditional in-class delivery, a blend of this with some online teaching, or, if need be, fully online options. Ensuring the delivery of a quality education and a rich student experience is paramount, and we look forward to welcoming you.
