<strong>Overview</strong><br/><br/>Do you dream of being a writer? Fantasise about seeing your name on a book cover, up in lights in the West End, or on the credits of a film? Wonder how to get into the creative industries? At UEA, you’ll find a Creative Writing degree to nurture your talent and set you on the path to achieving your dreams. <br/><br/>As a BA Creative Writing and English Literature undergraduate, you’ll be writing from day one. In workshops, you’ll explore the arts of fiction, poetry and scriptwriting. You’ll discover new writers, have thrilling discussions about the way texts are made and share your own work to a supportive audience of your peers. Outside the workshop, guided work patterns will help you develop a writing practice that will hone your craft and maximise your potential. <br/><br/>Half your time will be spent on Creative Writing and half on English Literature, observing first-hand the vital interplay between creativity and criticism. You’ll experiment with genres, from crime to fantasy to nature writing. You’ll play with forms, subjects and approaches, from podcasting, to creative collaboration, to the Gothic and the fiction of the apocalypse. <br/><br/>You’ll be based in the UK’s longest-established and most prestigious Creative Writing department, part of UEA’s vibrant School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing. You’ll have access to world-leading facilities, from the state-of-the-art Media Suite to the publishing opportunities of Egg Box, from the riches of the British Archive for Contemporary Writing to the world-famous Sainsbury Centre. What’s more, you’ll find a home in the beautiful, buzzing city of Norwich, a UNESCO City of Literature and host to the National Centre for Writing. <br/><br/>All the while, you’ll be acquiring vital professional skills and encountering people working in a host of creative and cultural industries. By the time you graduate, you’ll be a world-class communicator with a range of career paths opening to you, from publishing to journalism, from advertising to game design – and, of course, being a published author. <br/><br/><strong>Disclaimer</strong><br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
