ENGL6117 2025-26
The Art and Craft of Fiction
This module offers advanced training in the writing of fiction, and does so in a wider international context than the usual selection of UK and possibly US texts allows. Instead of basing our examples of good practice only in British and American fiction, a distinctive feature of this module is that literary texts and examples studied will also be drawn from international sources. Fiction from Europe, Canada, South Asia and the Caribbean, as well as other parts of the world, will provide a wide-ranging perspective and offer many new paths for development of your work. Taught by a combination of seminars and workshops, the module will explore both the practical techniques used by professional writers of fiction and the literary theory behind them, but there will be opportunities to discuss your own work in a workshop atmosphere as well as to reflect on published texts. It is not necessary to have a special background to take this module. The practical element here is to learn to apply these technical elements to your own fiction, without resorting to pastiche or parody. -

MUSI2153 2028-29
The Art of Song
This module offers a wide-ranging exploration of song as a musical, cultural, and creative practice. It traces key moments in the history of song, from ancient song and plainchant through the formal and expressive conventions of Baroque da capo arias, the intimate and poetic world of the Romantic Lied, and the social and musical functions of blues and work songs, to the emotional and narrative power of musical-theatre repertoire and the evolving aesthetics of contemporary popular music, including indie rock and R&B. Across these styles, the module examines how song conventions—such as structure, text setting, vocal expression, and accompaniment—both shape and are reshaped by artistic experimentation, and how song emerges in relation to political, economic, and cultural forces. Designed for performers, composers, and theorists, the module encourages students to engage with song from multiple perspectives, developing practical, creative, and analytical skills. Flexible assessment options enable students to demonstrate their learning through performance, original composition, or analytical work, supporting a wide range of musical interests and professional goals.
