Creative Writing
Exceptional writing. We’ll find it in others, by analysing poetry or prose from some of the greats, and we’ll find it in you – through individually tailored feedback.
Learning
Outline
Ever read an opening chapter of a book and found it impossible to put down? You’ll soon be crafting those same gripping paragraphs, by learning the methods and principles that all epic writers employ. You’ll learn how to craft a compelling story, adding details for atmospheric value and how to hook your reader through every chapter. Or we’ll delve into poetry, exploring metre, rhyme and how to add sensory details to paint a vivid picture.
Teaching methodology
Learn the Oxford way with tutorial-style teaching. Your expert tutor will foster self-directed learning and critical thinking through interactive seminars in small groups (no bigger than 8). During your course, you will complete two pieces of independent work (essays or problem sheets), which your tutor will then evaluate in either a 1:1 or 2:1 tutorial. Tutorials will provide you with the opportunity to discuss your work and feedback with your tutor and learn new perspectives from your classmates. On completion of the course, you'll receive a certificate and letter of recommendation from your tutor.
The Summer Courses experience
Hosted within the hallowed halls of Cambridge Colleges, students delve into subjects under the guidance of experts, fostering curiosity and critical thinking in a diverse, multicultural setting. The fusion of social activities and academic pursuits nurtures independent growth, complemented by empowering masterclasses and university fairs. 'Insider info' handbooks assist students in maximising their free time, while a gradual increase in freedom accompanies them through different age groups. This inclusive and welcoming environment encourages independent thinking, allowing you to explore your passions freely. Discover subjects you love without the constraints of traditional expectations, providing abundant opportunities for both personal and academic growth.
