What career can you go into with a creative writing degree? And how does studying a creative degree boost your chances of getting a good graduate job? 

In this episode, we're in conversation with Lucy Sweetman, Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing and author of 'Exploring Consensual Leadership in Higher Education: Co-operation, Collaboration and Partnership' that was recently published by Bloomsbury. We discuss the importance of creativity, collaboration and how Bath Spa nurtures these vital transferable skills in all its students. 

Lucy also talks about the impact of Paper Nations, an initiative supported by the Arts Council England, with an aim to change the state of creative writing for young people and schools all across the UK. Paper Nations sits within our Research Centre for Transnational Creativity and Education (TRACE).
