BA American Literature with Creative Writing

This degree allows you to study American literature in depth while developing your creative writing practice. You will learn what makes American literature, and through that the United States itself, distinctive.
You will come to understand how Americans have expressed their sense of identity through literature, defining their nation in the process. Norwich has a vibrant contemporary writing scene, and is a UNESCO City of Literature making it an ideal place for you to study and to write.
You will also gain a first-hand appreciation of American literature during your year abroad in the United States, or perhaps you will choose to study in Canada or to spend one semester of your year abroad in Australia, New Zealand, or Hong Kong.
All of those experiences will enrich your final year, during which you will take a series of advanced classes and write a dissertation on a topic of your choice, guided by a supervisor.
