About
Take courses in Literature, Drama, and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in beautiful and historic Norwich, England.
Established in 1963, UEA is regularly ranked among the best universities in the United Kingdom, in terms of both overall quality and student satisfaction. UEA’s School of Literature, Drama, and Creative Writing has an international reputation for excellence in literary studies, with prize-winning scholars and teachers of literature and drama from all periods. Its world-famous Creative Writing program was founded by the novelists Malcolm Bradbury and Angus Wilson, and its graduates include Kazuo Ishiguro and Ian McEwan.
Named England’s first UNESCO City of Literature in 2013, Norwich was the home of Julian of Norwich, whose Revelations of Divine Love (1395) was the first book written in English by a woman. Today Norwich is a vibrant and dynamic city, full of stunning historical architecture (including a Norman Cathedral and a 12th Century Castle), as well as a lively open-air market and many restaurants, shops, theaters, and art galleries
An easy train ride to London or a quick flight to Amsterdam is all you need to begin exploring the rest of what Europe has to offer.
Terms available include Fall Semester (September–December), Spring Semester (January–June), and Academic Year.
