UCA become NAWE Institutional Member
The University for the Creative Arts (UCA) has become an Institutional Member of the National Association of Writers in Education (NAWE) in support of their new creative writing degrees.
The NAWE, whose patrons include playwright Alan Bennett and poet Gillian Clarke, promote creative writing within education, offering valuable resources including article archives, professional directories and career development programmes for teachers and lecturers.
UCA will begin running two new creative writing degrees at its Farnham campus from September - BA (Hon) Media & Creative Writing and BA (Hons) Journalism & Creative Writing - as part of its renowned School of Film and Media.
Dr Craig Jordan-Baker, Lecturer in Creative Writing at UCA, said: "Obtaining NAWE membership is a natural step in strengthening creative writing within UCA. As a result, we will have access to new networks, pedagogic tools and advice and we'll be able to advertise the success of our courses to the wider creative writing community."
Whilst specialist creative writing courses are new to UCA, the university has a long history of producing successful writers for literature and motion pictures, including Mary Tourtel, creator of Rupert Bear, and more recently, Dominic Mitchell, Bafta winning writer of the BBC3 series In The Flesh.
