This combined degree seeks to augment the value of the professional study of Writing by broadening students' awareness and understanding of other languages and cultures.
Writers tell their own stories, and in doing so they tell the stories of the societies they live in.
Through these stories we better understand our pasts and approach our futures with confidence and maturity. Writing at UTS is studied as a craft undertaken in close engagement with, and responsiveness to, the writer's society. Australia is uniquely positioned to play a significant role in the 21st century. Its writers will be a vital part of understanding and defining this role, and they will be better equipped for this task with an understanding of their own and other contemporary cultures as they go about their work.
