Creative Writing and Literature
Writing is more than words on a page. It’s ideas brought to life. It’s storytelling. It’s finding your voice (or that of an imagined character) and sharing it with the world.
Our creative writing and literature courses don’t just train your ability to write creatively. Our writing classes teach you to expand your literary horizons and think in entirely new ways so you can create exciting, bold and innovative works of art.
Sharpen your ability to edit and critique through a creative writing and literature degree at Swinburne and learn to confidently and accurately use the English language to explain complex ideas and notions.
With that grounding, you’ll be able to bring your creative writing skills to any professional or artistic endeavour.
