I'm studying English Literature with Creative Writing at Lancaster University and I'd definitely recommend it. When I was applying to uni I put it down as an afterthought but after UEA and Warwick both turned me down I decided to accept my place, and I don't regret it.
Our Creative Writing tutor gives us complete freedom on what to write- we have to write a 1000-word story (or part of a story) or a short poem every week, which might sound like a lot but it's good practise! I admit I was a bit nervous at first but the tutors are good at giving constructive criticism- they tell you what works and what doesn't. The workload is manageable and there's a Writers' Society which publishes a termly magazine, giving you the chance to see your work in print. On the English Lit side of things, we study a variety of texts but when it comes to coursework you can choose which texts to write about so you still have a lot of freedom. I'm having an amazing time at Lancaster!
