Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - English Literature and Drama

This English Literature and Drama degree offers students the opportunity to study in two brilliant departments, learning from researchers, writers, artists, and literary critics. They will learn about writing and criticism across prose, poetry, and drama, and how to bring texts to life in performance.  

Students will encounter literature from across centuries and genres, from ancient epic to modern experimentation, and from medieval quests to contemporary fiction. They will explore theatre practices from around the world, on the page, on the stage, and on screen. Students will learn the art and craft of theatre-making, writing, and production. 

Students will work in UEA's professional Drama Studio. They will benefit from highly regarded student-run Minotaur Theatre Company, giving them the chance to gain even more performance, technical, and scriptwriting experience. Studying in Norwich means students will have access to a rich arts scene, including Norwich Theatre, Norwich Arts Centre, UEA Live, and the National Centre for Writing. 

Through the degree, students will learn how to be an engaged reader, thinker, writer, and maker. They will be prepared for careers in theatre and film, as a writer or critic, and for a host of other fulfilling professions both within and outside of the creative industries.
