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 rethinking the world around them. Whether on page, stage or screen, we learn about ourselves and others, discover new ways of living, and we have the chance to change lives and impact the world. The Drama and Creative Writing degree at UEA offers you the opportunity to study in two brilliant departments, including the longest-established and most prestigious Creative Writing department in the UK. You’ll be taught by artists, writers, and researchers. You’ll learn how to write, how to bring your writing to life, and how to think about the arts and the world. You’ll take modules in both disciplines, studying 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. On this version of the course, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to spend your third year studying at one of our partner institutions across the globe. **Disclaimer**Course details are subject to change.
