Abstract
In 2009, when the Government raised the possibility of losing subjects such
as creative writing in favour of more ‘vocational’ options, it became important
to creative writing practitioners in universities to demonstrate its relevance in
Higher Education. Many students are engaged on joint degree programmes
and this led lecturers to consider a multidisciplinary approach. Students on
programmes combined with English were required to use the short story as
part of their assessment. This paper discusses how the use of creative writing
has many benefits and not for the subject area of English only.
