• Produce graduates who are able to communicate effectively in a range of mediums, and who are able to analyse critically different texts in a range of situations and contexts
• Endeavour to encourage learning and transferable skills in both independent and collaborative contexts
• Encourage students to connect across boundaries and value ethical behaviour through the study of quality literature and the praxis of creative writing
