**Overview**<br/><br/>The writers world has never been more diverse, exciting, and collaborative than it is today. UEA – which became the first UK university to teach creative writing over 50 years ago – has played a major role in shaping this world. Since then, countless writers have emerged from our seminars and workshops and made a lasting impact on the field of contemporary literature. Are you ready to join them?<br/><br/>As a student of Creative Writing and English Literature, youll hone your writing skills while exploring literatures from a host of genres, countries, and periods. You’ll take the same creative writing workshops as our English Literature with Creative Writing students and youll dive into modules that will take your writing practice out of the classroom and into the working writers world. Through seminars, workshops, and placements, youll develop skills across disciplines and media, in community engagement, and in publishing and presenting your own work. In other words, you’ll be primed to enter a writers world. <br/><br/>**About the course**<br/><br/>To write is to practice, with particular intensity and attentiveness, the art of reading.’ So wrote Susan Sontag. In a similar way, at UEA we believe that good readers make good writers. It is for this reason that we combine the study of Creative Writing and English Literature at all levels of our degree programmes.<br/><br/>In addition to the creative writing workshops offered by our pioneering and world-famous English Literature with Creative Writing degree, this course offers you a suite of modules designed to help you enter the working writers world once you graduate. You’ll become familiar with collaborative practice, working with makers and thinkers in other disciplines. On our innovative creative non-fiction module, you’ll experience writing in real-world contexts and learn how to make that world your subject. As your degree reaches its climax, you’ll learn how to produce, publish and perform your work to a professional standard.<br/><br/>All along, you will be studying at a university rich in famous alumni, including Booker Prize winners Ian McEwan and Anne Enright, Forward Prize winner Mona Arshi, and Nobel Prize winner Sir Kazuo Ishiguro.<br/><br/>In your study of English literature, you’ll discover a wealth of writers from the classical past right up to poets and novelists writing now. You might explore diverse literary traditions from across the globe, and you’ll tackle a heady mix of genres, from the gothic to contemporary fiction, crime writing to children’s literature, and many more.<br/><br/>Whichever modules you choose to study, you’ll be taught by our world-leading writers and critics. UEA’s School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing is famous for innovation in teaching and for cutting-edge research – that’s why in the most recent Times Higher Education Analysis (REF2021), UEA was ranked 19th in the UK for the quality of its research in English Language and Literature.<br/><br/>When you’re not in the classroom, you’ll be able to explore the glories of Norwich, an extraordinary place in which to be a writer. Not only is it jaw-droppingly beautiful; it’s also England’s first UNESCO City of Literature and home to the National Centre for Writing. You’ll immerse yourself in this community, perhaps sharing your work at our UEA Live: New Writing series.<br/><br/>On Creative Writing and English Literature with a Placement Year, you’ll normally spend 9-12 months of your third year in a placement, gaining work experience and employability skills in a relevant area of your choice.<br/><br/>We say that UEA is the place where literature lives – when you join the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing, you’ll join a community who bring literature to life every day. It’s a pretty good place to be, and you can find out more by following us on Instagram. <br/><br/>**Disclaimer**<br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
