Why you should choose us

Course overview.

Creative Writing has been part of the UEA story for over 50 years. In that time, 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?

Immerse yourself in a thriving community of writers and thinkers through the study of English Literature with Creative Writing at UEA. Learning from practicing writers and passionate teachers, you will sharpen your ability to sculpt language into stories, scenes and images. You will build worlds, develop your voice, find ways to express the inexpressible. Alongside this, you will study literatures from around the world, past and present. You will discover how writers and thinkers have expanded literary possibilities, made art out of lived experience and shown us, in myriad ways, what it means to be human. In the process, you will become a more discerning and attentive reader and writer. Does that sound like your kind of thing? If it does, this might be your kind of place.

‘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’s for this reason that we combine the study of English Literature and creative writing at all levels of our degree programme. While in one seminar you might examine the practice and possibilities of point of view, or rhythm, or setting; in another you might find yourself discussing the relationship between literature and history or reflecting on the ways queer or deconstructive theories can re-frame your way of reading. In this way, your creative and literary training go hand-in-hand, each enhancing the other. You’ll be able to draw on the wealth of literature you’ve been reading to inspire your writing, and your understanding of how literature works will be deepened by your attempts to write it yourself.

You will be studying at a university rich in famous creative writing alumni, including Booker Prize winners Ian McEwan and Anne Enright, Forward Prize winner Mona Arshi, and Nobel Prize winner Sir Kazuo Ishiguro.  You will draw inspiration from this rich lineage, while working closely with our many practicing writers – novelists, scriptwriters, poets and non-fiction writers – in seminars, workshops and supervisions. Whatever kind of writer you are, you will be able to draw on expert advice and guidance to help you become the best writer you can be. 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’ll explore diverse literary traditions from across the globe, and you’ll tackle a heady mix of genres, which currently range from the gothic to contemporary fiction, crime writing to children’s literature, early modern women’s writing to modern Japanese fiction.

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. 

 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 – awarded in recognition of the city’s vivid literary heritage and vibrant contemporary writing scene – and home to the National Centre for Writing . You’ll immerse yourself in this community, perhaps sharing your work with a packed audience of students and professional writers at our UEA Live: New Writing series, or attending literary festival events with internationally-renowned literary figures. 

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 unique and supportive community of critics, writers, and drama practitioners, who bring literature to life every day. It’s a pretty good place to be, and you can find out more about the activities in our school by following us on Instagram .

Placement Year and Study Abroad

You have the option to apply to study abroad for one semester of your second year. Study abroad is a wonderfully enriching life experience – you’ll develop confidence and adaptability, and will have the chance to deepen your understanding of writing while learning about another culture. At UEA, you’ll be surrounded by the many students we welcome from around the world to study with us.  

For further details, visit the  Study Abroad section  of our website.

Study and Modules

During your first year, you’ll take two bespoke Creative Writing modules. In combination, they will provide you with a bedrock of craft skills and theoretical understanding on which you will build during your English literature and Creative Writing degree.

In the first semester, you’ll be guided through the principles of prose fiction, poetry and scriptwriting. You’ll read texts by some of the best contemporary writers; in seminars, you’ll try out different forms and techniques, both in discussion and through writing exercises. In the second semester, you'll experiment with avant-garde techniques and explore genre, taking risks and pushing your own boundaries as a writer, while developing the ability to critically reflect on your own creative practice.

On the literature side, you’ll explore the breadth of English Literature across history. You’ll immerse yourself in the global history of English, from its origins in multilingual medieval society to the extraordinary literatures still being forged today from the legacies of colonialism and its resistance. Meanwhile, you’ll experience the thrill of paying close attention to texts, growing your analytical skills as a reader. You’ll discover first-hand how the two parts of your degree work together, your writing developing alongside your critical understanding. 

Compulsory Modules

Creative writing: beginnings, creative writing: experiments with genre, reading now, optional a modules, acting: working with plays, theatre now, new forms: writing in collaboration, scriptwriting and performance, introduction to world dramatic literatures, applied drama and technical skills, reading literature in history, creative writing (spring semester), postwar british drama, theatre: theory and performance, optional b modules, writing across borders, slow reading, reading and writing criticism, writing texts.

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, the University will endeavour to consult with students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff. In some cases optional modules can have limited places available and so you may be asked to make additional module choices in the event you do not gain a place on your first choice. Where this is the case, the University will inform students.

Teaching and Learning

The bulk of your teaching will be in the seminar room. In groups of roughly 15 writers, you’ll experience the thrill of bringing your craft into alignment with your imagination. One week you might burrow deep into the psyche of a particular character, the next you might pursue the perfect image for desire, or fear, or hope. You’ll be guided all the way by a tutor for whom this business of putting words on a page is as captivating as it is for you.

Meanwhile, lectures on literature will surprise you with new ideas, and seminar discussions will shape your thinking about what you've read that week. You'll meet your academic adviser who'll support you through your whole degree with everything from choice of modules to launching your career.

Independent Learning 

You’ll spend time working on your own writing and reading some extraordinary books, with a framework of guided tasks to help you get the most out of them. You'll explore the library and the Sainsbury Centre , discovering a wealth of resources and inspiration. You'll throw yourself into the whirlwind of extra-curricular creative writing events and activities. Sometimes, you might just sit and think, finding a still space to take it all in. By the end of this year, you'll be equipped with the fundamental skills you’ll need for your literary and creative journey. 

Throughout your degree, all modules in English Literature and Creative Writing have no exams – we believe that the best way to express your thoughts about literature and to show off your creative development is through carefully crafted pieces of written coursework. On the creative side, you'll start by writing your own stories and poems, developing fundamental skills in drafting, keeping a writer's notebook, and submitting to deadlines, before embarking on more experimental exercises, which invite you to take greater risks. In your studies of literature, you'll develop renewed enthusiasm for writing academic essays, and express your thinking in a diverse variety of forms, from reviews to personal reflective writing.

Feedback 

You'll receive feedback on your writing (creative and critical) from your tutors (in one-to-one tutorials) and your peers. Feedback on assessed work will be returned within 20 working days (after it has been carefully marked and moderated). As your first year does not count toward your overall degree result, it's the perfect moment to experiment and take risks.  

Building on the skills you developed in the first year, you’ll begin to focus your creative writing on a particular form (or two), choosing from prose, poetry, creative non-fiction and scriptwriting modules, as well as options in publishing and journalism.

In the classroom, you’ll continue to discuss and analyse superb exemplary works of literature. Now, however, you’ll start sharing your writing with your peers and a published author in our creative writing workshops. You’ll receive feedback and learn how to give constructive criticism to your peers, too. It’s a defining moment in your UEA career, when your writing starts to come out of the shadows and into the light. As a literary critic, you will be able to choose from all the available literature modules, gaining a grounding in a variety of literary periods. You might also choose to experiment with our innovative creative-critical modules, where the reading and writing of literature go hand-in-hand.

Over the course of this year and the next, you’ll also take at least two modules in literature written before 1789. This ensures you graduate as a writer who has a real awareness of how your work emerges from and reacts to the traditions that precede it. 

VICTORIAN WRITING

European literature, critical theory and practice, contemporary fiction, literature studies semester abroad (spring), medieval writing: quest, fable and romance (pre-1789), shakespeare (pre-1789), romantic transformations: 1740-1830, early modern writing 1600-1740: the making of english literature (pre-1789), reading and writing in elizabethan england (pre-1789), making it public: publishing, audience, & creative enterprise, reading and writing contemporary poetry, the writing of journalism (aut), the short story (aut), arts and humanities placement module, optional c modules, writing in the world: placements, podcasts, creative nonfiction, scriptwriting: tv/film, creative writing: prose fiction (spr), scriptwriting: stage/audio, creative writing: prose fiction (aut), creative writing: poetry (aut), scriptwriting: screen and stage, optional d modules, literature and philosophy, adaptation: cross-media transformations, the writing of history, transatlantic literatures, intermediate french ii - b1 cefr, intermediate german ii - b1 cefr, intermediate spanish ii b1 cefr, lgbt and beyond: sexual cultures, queer identities, and the politics of desire, feminist theatres.

Your writing will be taken to the next level through the 'workshopping' process (pioneered in the UK by UEA).  You'll become accustomed to putting your work out into the world and getting feedback from your peers and your tutors. You’ll learn the art of constructive critique, helping your fellow writers to grow as they help you. Lectures and seminars will immerse you in particular eras of literature, and you'll also have the chance to take seminars in more vocational areas like journalism or publishing (using our state-of-the-art Media Suite), or you might take a placement as part of a humanities-wide module.

You'll continue to read widely, pursuing your own passions or discovering new ones. You’ll become adept at journaling, at looking at the world for inspiration. And you’ll work on your stories and poems and scripts, revising them towards submission. You'll finish the year with a real sense of how your degree might open out into future careers.

You'll continue to submit written coursework for all your creative writing and literature modules. Your creative writing will flourish as you produce more substantial pieces of prose (a 1250-word short story or longer 2000-word narrative), portfolios of poetry, or scripts for stage or screen (20-30 minutes in length). You’ll write reflective pieces to understand better your own creative processes. You'll take your critical essay writing to new heights in projects of around 2500 words, and you might experiment with creative criticism, for instance by writing a short story which reveals your critical understanding of that form. You may take one module from another discipline this year, which might lead you to take an exam, but the majority of our students are assessed by 100% written coursework.

You'll continue to have the support and feedback of all your tutors, and your creative work will be deepened by your immersion in the workshop environment, where you receive feedback from your peers and learn to give feedback on their work, an enormously valuable skill in many careers.  

In your final-year creative writing modules, you will focus intensively on your own practice. You’ll take a workshop, modelled on our world-famous Creative Writing MA. This will give you the chance to push your work to new levels of accomplishment. You’ll also have the chance to write a creative writing dissertation in which you produce a substantial piece of work, with one-to-one support from a tutor, who will perform a similar role to an editor or dramaturg.  

On the literature side, you’ll choose from a dazzling array of specialist modules, led by the research passions of our academics – currently we offer topics covering everything from the global Middle Ages to the art of emotion. Modules are carefully ordered into two option ranges to give you the chance to study literature in specific historical contexts and to explore genres or concepts across time. Or you might choose to write a dissertation on an aspect of English literature of your choice, working one-on-one with a specialist tutor as your supervisor. 

CREATIVE WRITING: PROSE

Creative writing: scriptwriting, creative writing: prose (aut), creative writing dissertation (aut), literature dissertation: post-1789 (spr), writing television drama, literature dissertation: post-1789 (aut), publication, production, performance, creative writing dissertation (spr), literature dissertation: (pre-1789) (aut), literature dissertation: (pre-1789) (spr), shakespeare's dramatic worlds (pre-1789), the business of books (pre-1789), women's writing in early-modern britain: the emergence of female authorship (pre-1789), reading modern japanese fiction: translation and canonisation, nervous narratives, monsters, marvels and creative medieval heritage (pre-1789), the birth of the gothic: romance, revolution, empire, banned books, ghosts, haunting and spectrality, the art of murder, children's literature, imaginary endings: british fiction and the apocalypse, mythos: rewriting the classics (pre-1789), feminist writing, culture and performance, the art of emotion: literature, writing and feeling.

Your time at UEA will move towards its climax. You’ll bring everything you’ve learnt into one of our advanced workshops, or into the dissertation, focusing on the form of your choice. You’ll be writing and thinking at a level you hadn’t thought possible, guided every step of the way by a practicing writer. Alongside this, you'll have the chance to explore cutting-edge literary topics in real depth, in three-hour seminars taught by specialists passionate about their subject.

You'll bring together all the skills and confidence you've developed in critical and creative writing to master the forms of writing and fields of literary study that have come to matter to you the most. Perhaps you’ll also get involved in publishing the annual undergraduate anthology of creative writing. Either way, you’ll be feeling increasingly ready for what the world beyond UEA can offer. 

You'll continue to be assessed by 100% written coursework. Your participation in another workshop will allow you to complete even more ambitious portfolios of writing (for example, 3000 words of prose or 12 to 15 pages of poetry), and if you choose to do a creative dissertation, this will become the culmination of your achievements as a writer. You'll perfect the craft of critical essay writing in equally substantial projects (3500-5000 words), and if you wish you might continue to experiment with the forms in which you express your critical ideas, writing Shakespearean sonnets or experimenting with the new boundary-defying genre of ‘auto-fiction’.

All the feedback you've received enables you to graduate with highly developed skills in writing and argument across a host of forms and for an array of audiences, and with an ability to give sensitive but incisive critique of others' work. These are all transferable skills hugely valued by employers.

Creative writing

**Overview** This unique degree unites UEA’s strengths in creative writing and in drama to give you an exhilarating immersion in writing and performance.

You will have the opportunity to study all kinds of creative writing, with a particular focus on writing for theatre, cinema, television, and radio.

**About This Course** You'll gain a thorough grounding in writing for stage and screen, which will be complemented by opportunities to develop your skills in non-dramatic writing, too. Your stage and screen writing will be improved by getting to grips with the ins-and-outs of theatrical performance, while you become better able to analyse dramatic language by writing it yourself. 

At the heart of your BA Drama and Creative writing degree are scriptwriting masterclasses with practising writers, where you’ll discover the formats, conventions, and techniques of writing for different dramatic genres and media. You’ll learn by writing scenes and short scripts, offering critiques of each other’s work, and by working closely with other Drama students. 

In your second and third years, you'll be able to develop your craft as a writer by taking workshops in prose or poetry, working closely with our world-famous creative writing colleagues.

You’ll also be able to pursue performance and placement opportunities, including a creative industries internship in your second year, which involves a work placement in a drama-producing organisation or environment. 

At UEA, you’ll encounter an astonishing array of drama, theatre and performance. You’ll engage with major theoretical approaches, actor- and director-training, and techniques for creating and writing your own work.

You’ll benefit from our highly regarded student run Minotaur Theatre Company, which gives you the chance to gain additional performance, technical and scriptwriting experience, as well as exciting chances to share your writing at events such as New Writing Live. Find out more about life in the School of Literature, Drama, and Creative Writing on our Instagram @uealdc.

Top job areas of graduates

The jobs market for this subject - which includes creative writing and scriptwriting courses - is not currently one of the strongest, so unemployment rates are currently looking quite high overall, with salaries on the lower side. But nevertheless, most graduates get jobs quickly. Graduates often go into careers as authors and writers and are also found in other roles where the ability to write well is prized, such as journalism, translation, teaching and advertising and in web content. Be aware that freelancing and self-employment is common is common in the arts, as are what is termed 'portfolio careers', having several part-time jobs or commissions at once - although graduates from this subject were a little more likely than many other creative arts graduates to be in conventional full time permanent contracts, so that might be worth bearing in mind.

What about your long term prospects?

Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.

It's also worth comparing typical A-level subjects and grades students achieved with the current course entry requirements; similarities or differences here could indicate how flexible (or not) a university might be.

Post-six month graduation stats:

This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.

It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

Graduate field commentary:

The Higher Education Careers Services Unit have provided some further context for all graduates in this subject area, including details that numbers alone might not show

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?

Essential tools:

heading: Lean Library browser plug-in

I strongly recommend you install the Library's  Lean Library web browser extension . This helps connect you to library content when you're searching the Web or using Google Scholar or other online databases. It can help trouble-shoot if you are not automatically signed in via UEA.

Heading and link: Cite Them Right

UEA subscribes to cite them right , which provides help and tutorials on many of the main referencing styles used at UEA. Use this to learn how best to reference books, articles (along with more tricky formats) and to double-check references you download from Library Search or Google Scholar are correct. 

Heading with link: Chicago Manual of Style Online

The Library has access to the online edition of the latest (17th) edition of the Chicago Manual of Style , which is used by the schools of History and Literature, Drama and Creative Writing. Chapter 14 covers Chicago footnotes and bibliographies; Chapter 15, the inline (bracketed) version of Chicago. The Quick Guide provides a useful overview.

The  Library Helpdesk  is your first point of contact for queries about using the library building, booking study spaces, accessing electronic resources and finding and borrowing print books.

I can provide more in-depth support - if you need help, please do get in touch!

  Literature, Drama and Creative Writing at UEA

University of east anglia     faculty of arts and humanities, about the programme.

The School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia has a long-established international reputation in literary studies. In the Research Excellence Framework (REF2021), a major Government analysis of university research quality, the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing ranked 13 th for world-leading research among UK English departments. 91 per cent of our research has been rated either 4* (world leading) or 3* (internationally excellent). We are home to prize-winning scholars and translators of literature and drama from all periods, and the school is famous as a pioneering centre for creative writing.

We welcome interdisciplinary projects and actively encourage cross-institutional collaboration. UEA is part of the CHASE consortium, an AHRC-funded doctoral training programme in the Humanities.

Research Expertise

The intellectual character of the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing is formed through a unique conjunction of literary criticism, creative writing and literary translation.

The school is renowned for its interdisciplinary research and has established research interests across most periods of English writing, including medieval and early modern literature, the long-nineteenth century, modernism and contemporary writing.

Our reputation in critical and creative writing is based on award-winning works of fiction, poetry, drama and literary criticism, as well as innovative writing across the creative-critical border, such as works of creative non-fiction. The School is known for its distinguished works of translation and translation theory, and is the home of the British Centre for Literary Translation, a major research centre devoted to the theory and practice of literary translation.

School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing

Research students are fully integrated in the research culture of the school, which hosts a number of research seminar series and regular creative writing events.

The Graduate School in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities offers a wide range of relevant training programmes. These include interdisciplinary seminars on methodology, archival work, research ethics, copy-editing, pedagogy, and employability as well as specific seminars for creative-critical research students. We also help fund the creation, publication and distribution of magazines. We aim where possible to provide our research students with experience of undergraduate teaching.

With an overall average cohort of around 90-95 postgraduate students, the School has a thriving postgraduate research culture and a bustling community of diverse scholars.

Our students work across all periods of English literature, as well as in the areas of creative and critical writing, life writing, and literary translation.

Research students play a central role in the intellectual life of the School, from leading research seminars and organizing conferences to setting up showcases for upcoming and ascendant writers.

The Graduate School in the Faculty of the Humanities and Arts serves as a hub for training, workshops and intellectual exchange. Its aim is to nurture a new generation of professional scholars who demonstrate the relevance of the arts and humanities in contemporary public and academic life.

The deadline for funded studentships in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities PhD Studentships is usually January for October starts.

We welcome applications from students with their own funding all-year-round. Please enquire by emailing  [email protected]  for further information.

Deadlines for application are listed on our  information pages, where you will also find details of  fees and funding  .
