Degree Requirements

BA Combined Honours/Double Major in Creative Writing

The Creative Writing Program in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is not restricted to FASS students. 黄色直播 and King's students from any Faculty are able to combine Creative Writing with another subject to earn one of two combined degrees: a B.A. (120 credit-hour) Double Major program with Creative Writing as the secondary subject, or a B.A. (120 credit-hour) Combined Honours program with Creative Writing as a secondary subject.

The degree requirements for the Creative Writing side of a degree are identical for a Combined Honours and a Double Major degree. Admission to Combined Honours in Creative Writing requires application to the Department of English, which administers the Creative Writing Program.

A student cannot complete a stand-alone degree with a major in Creative Writing, nor can Creative Writing be the primary subject in a Combined Honours degree.聽 Students are advised to ensure that their other area of study (e.g., English, History, or Psychology) may serve as the primary subject in a Double Major or Combined Honours Degree.
