LITCR2101 Creative Writing: Prose Fiction
This is an intermediate course and may be undertaken by students who intend to develop their creative writing skills in prose fiction and to develop an original manuscript in short story format. The course will draw on diverse examples of the short story genre in order to focus on developing the elements of Setting, Character, Plot, Structure, Point of View, Voice, Metaphor, and Symbolism in an original manuscript. Weekly seminars will require regular reading and writing activity, giving and receiving evaluative feedback clearly, sensitively and effectively, engaging in the practice of editorial skills and developing a short story manuscript for a specific audience.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
