What will I learn?
**Overview**Drama and Creative Writing work together to craft powerful stories, invent new forms of expression, and engage audiences and readers in fresh ways of thinking. Whether on the page, stage or screen, these disciplines help us explore what it means to be human. The Drama and Creative Writing degree at UEA gives you the chance to study in two outstanding departments, including the longest-established and most prestigious Creative Writing department in the UK. You’ll be taught by experienced artists, writers, and researchers who will support you in developing both your creative voice and your performance skills. By combining your passions for text and performance, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how they inform and inspire one another. You’ll explore both disciplines, studying acting, innovative playwrights, writing, and theatre practices from around the world. You’ll learn the art of writing, including for stage and screen, the craft of theatre-making, and how critical thinking leads to rigorous and powerful work. You’ll have the opportunity to study all kinds of creative writing, with a particular focus on writing for theatre, cinema, television, and radio. Alongside this, you'll be exploring the contemporary practice, criticism, and history of dramatic writing and performance. Your writing will be enriched by an awareness of theatrical and literary traditions from around the globe. You’ll work in our professional Drama Studio, benefiting from our highly regarded student-run Minotaur Theatre Company and gaining even more performance, technical, and scriptwriting experience. Studying in Norwich means you’ll have access to a rich arts scene, including Norwich Theatre, Norwich Arts Centre, UEA Live, and the National Centre for Writing. Your degree could take you into a career in the creative industries, as a writer or working in theatre, film, and radio. Or you might choose to take your collaborative, creative and critical skills into a host of other professions or into business. **Disclaimer** Course details are subject to change.
