Creative Writing
Develop a pre-university research project in Creative Writing
Writing is one of the most important skills in any career. Whether writing scientific papers, or the next blockbuster novel to rival Harry Potter, writing skill is the foundation of many career paths.
Our 1:1 online research programme is designed for aspiring young writers. We will encourage you to push the limits of your current writing ability and learn to improve your own work by critically analysing great literature.
What is the 1:1 Research Programme designed by Ivy League tutors?
The Ivy League Online Research Programme (‘ILORP’) is designed by faculty from Ivy League universities for students who want to enhance their personal research and study skills in preparation for university, whilst also developing deeper knowledge in their chosen field.
Led by your personal tutor, you will undertake a research project assessed at university-level and receive regular 1:1 supervisions from an expert academic.
This course is ideal for students wanting to gain invaluable experience for writing a dissertation or thesis at university, whilst also familiarising themselves with the demands of studying at a top tier university. Alternatively, this is a fantastic opportunity to experience a subject you have never studied before!
The most beneficial part would be all the new content that I learnt and the academic essay that I wrote towards the end of the programme. I felt that the essay consolidated all the learning and gave me an insight on how to write successful academic essays at university.
