Overview

You’ll immerse yourself in a thriving community of writers and thinkers. Learning from practicing writers and passionate teachers, you’ll sharpen your ability to sculpt language into stories, scenes, and images. You’ll build worlds, develop your voice and find ways to express yourself. Alongside this, at English Literature with Creative Writing with a Placement Year (Hons) from University of East Anglia you’ll study literature from around the world, past and present. You’ll discover how writers have expanded literary possibilities, made art out of lived experience and shown us what it means to be human. In doing so, you’ll become a more discerning and attentive reader and writer, ready to make your own mark on the literary world.

You’ll spend a third of your time on Creative Writing and two thirds on English Literature in your first two years of study. In your third year, you may increase the amount of Creative Writing that you do or focus more on Literature, developing a balance that best suits you.

Placement Year

This degree gives you the opportunity to greatly enhance your employability by undertaking a 9-12 month placement in the third year of your degree. You'll be expected to source your own work placement with the support of UEA's CareerCentral Service and your school.
