BA (Hons) in Professional Writing and Dance & Movement Studies

What is Joint Honours?

With joint honours, you can study for an honours degree in two or even three subjects. Find out more about joint honours.

Professional Writing

You can study Professional Writing as a joint subject (half and half with another subject), as a Major subject or as a Minor option. If you choose Professional Writing as a joint or major subject, you'll also have a choice of optional theory modules, which will give you an insight into the historical and current developments of the media industries.

You'll learn about newspaper and magazine journalism, scriptwriting for film, TV and radio, PR, advertising and marketing  and writing for digital media.

Dance and Movement Studies

If you love dance and think it's played an important part in your own development, and you want to develop your skills so that you can work creatively with others, then this course is for you.

We'll encourage you to broaden your knowledge and experience of dance whilst giving you the support to develop in your area of interest. You'll build your skills in choreography and improvisation by working individually, and then moving on to work in small groups, and finally, you'll give a public performance in stage three.
