Deakin's Bachelor of Creative Writing provides a practice-based and theoretically strong preparation for professional writers working in specialised literary/publishing fields and industry, and for entrepreneurial contexts. Students engage in practice ranging from narrative-driven works to experimental innovations, editing, creative nonfiction and script writing, as well as new takes on traditional genres of poetry, and short and extended fiction writing. Collaboration, robust practice, professionalism and creative sustainability are emphasised at all levels, ensuring you hone skills necessary to work with interdisciplinary teams in writing, film, drama and new technologies. At Deakin, we encourage you to identify and pursue opportunities for writing/ editing in new media, including for our own international writing journal, Verandah.
