Writing skills are linked with reading skills. They refer to the ability to encounter and interpret texts in a multitude of ways and in various situations. We emphasise the social impact of reading.
Multidisciplinary nature of writing
The writer’s skills we develop can be applied in a versatile manner. They are needed when, for example, you want to influence people through writing and reading. You will be able to address, convince, inform, awaken, disturb, charm, comfort, teach, care, refresh, encourage relax and more.
The studies familiarise you with a variety of different notions of literature and ways of producing text. Additionally, feedback skills and socially topical aspects, such as ecological perspectives to writing, are central to the studies. The multimedial and multiartistic nature of writing is considered. The students’ individual study paths build diverse writer identities.
