Have you ever disappeared into a fantasy book or film, and dreamt of creating a world filled to the brim with magic, mythical creatures, and tales of adventure? Then, Creative Writing is your choice.
What do we do?
The Creative Writing course delves into English language and writing. Our goal is to become better writers in our target language, English. At the same time, we aim to further our creative attributes by exploring different genres. You will write fantasy, horror, dark academia and more during the course. You do not need any experience writing creatively. Our journey starts with you!
During the year, we travel to England and Scotland to mingle with the natives and follow in the footsteps of great authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and the fresher author R.F. Kuang (known for writing Babel).

Study trip: England and Scotland
To delve into the language and gather inspiration, we travel to the British Isles, namely England and Scotland. We will visit Oxford, York, and Edinburgh. Everything from cobblestone streets to 11th-century castles will be explored. In addition, as a student, you are encouraged to explore on your own to truly experience Great Britain!
The liberal folk high schools are built on values that are not based on one particular belief. They encourage students with different interests and beliefs to apply.
