English Literature with Creative Writing, BA (Hons), with industry placement

At the University of East Anglia (UEA), our BA in English Literature with Creative Writing fosters exceptional talent by integrating the study of literature and creative practice. We believe that avid readers become skilled writers, so students engage in a dynamic community of thinkers and creators. Guided by experienced writers and educators, you'll refine your ability to craft compelling narratives, develop a unique voice, and explore global literatures from various eras. This balanced curriculum enhances critical reading and writing skills, allowing you to experiment with genres like creative non-fiction, podcasting, and speculative fiction.In your first two years, dedicate one-third of your time to creative writing and two-thirds to literature, with flexibility in the final year to adjust based on your interests. Based in the UK's premier Creative Writing department within UEA's School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing, you'll access top facilities, including the Media Suite and British Archive for Contemporary Writing, while living in Norwich—a UNESCO City of Literature. Graduates gain versatile skills for careers in creative industries, business, or media, with opportunities for networking and a optional placement year for practical experience.
