It begins – has always begun – with a blank page, from stretched goatskin to flickering, ticking cursor. What will you say? How will you press the sound of your voice against that page? Can you pin your ideas with words? A quill presses into skin – punctures – fills – the pale feather blushes with iridescent colours – now subtle, now searing. Bleed a filigree of poetry. Life writing. Cut and paste characters, narrative perspectives – would she tell it like that? Can we trust him, this narrator with a dazzle of quicksilver for a tongue? Their story’s all a fiction. Lie still, impeccably. Make them talk in euphemism – script a sculpture of stylised slang – slip subtext under the reader’s very nose. In a hundred and forty characters. Jump cut here – line break – make it up. Rewrite it all, in another tense. A crisp flurry of imagery. Turn the page – all yours – what will you write?

What I would highlight: UEA is the perfect mix of the vibrant city of Norwich and the peacefulness of its rural surroundings. The music scene, nightlife and society network manage to bring the place alive and create an environment that's actually inspiring to work in.

What I would highlight: Everything is perfect, or as you'd want it to be. All tutors are quick to reply and always willing to help. The library is amazing, as are all on site amenities. There's so much to do on campus -nipping in to town for a night out at a club is pretty much the only reason any of us leave campus.

What I would highlight: Sprawling fields, live music, pubs and clubs and a burger van are some of the advantages of this university. The campus itself is designed to be social, with the square and union bar and its epicentre. Also you can easily enjoy the beautiful lake and greenery on the outskirts.

Course programme

Your degree programme contains compulsory and optional modules. Compulsory modules are designed to give you a solid grounding, optional modules allow you to tailor your degree.

In the first year of our English with Creative Writing course, on the Creative Writing side you'll experience a huge range of different forms of writing, while in the second and third years you have the option to specialise in a particular form or forms (prose, poetry, or scriptwriting), sharing and developing your writing in workshops led by a published writer. In the third year, you may also choose to pursue a creative writing dissertation, where you'll produce a more substantial piece of writing - a longer short story, drama script, or collection of poems.

When it comes to the study of English literature, our programme emphasises choice and flexibility. While the first year introduces you to a wide range of literatures from across time and helps you to develop as a critical reader, the second year gives you the chance to delve into particular periods or authors in greater depth, whether it's the plays of Shakespeare or the works of contemporary novelists. We do guide your choice by asking you to take two modules on literatures written in the eighteenth century or before over the course of your second and third years: you will graduate with a confident grasp of some of the extraordinary ways that writers have experimented with literary form over the centuries. If you wish, you may also take a module from other humanities courses - this is a chance to experiment with the study of film, history, or politics for example. In the third year, you choose from a huge array of specialist modules, which grow out of the research expertise of our staff, or you might choose to undertake your own dissertation (pursuing a topic of your choice under the guidance of a supervisor). The two parts of your degree - literature and creative writing - are designed to support and complement one another, each developing your skills as a reader and a writer.

The course modules section below lists the current modules by year and you can click on each module for further details. Each module lists its value (in credits) and its module code, a year of study is 120 credits.
