English Literature and Drama both explore how characters, stories, and forms of expression allow us to reflect on ourselves and imagine new worlds. Working between language, imagery, and imagination, these powerful artforms tell us about our history, and give us the tools to explore who we're and who we could be. This English Literature and Drama degree offers you the opportunity to study in two brilliant departments, learning from researchers, writers, artists, and literary critics. You’ll learn about writing and criticism across prose, poetry, and drama, and how to bring texts to life in performance. You’ll encounter literature from across centuries and genres, from ancient epics to modern experimentation, and from medieval quests to contemporary fiction. You’ll explore theatre practices from around the world, on the page, on the stage, and on screen. You’ll learn the art and craft of theatre-making, writing, and production. You’ll work in our professional Drama Studio. You'll benefit from our highly regarded student-run Minotaur Theatre Company, giving you the chance to gain 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. Through the degree, you’ll learn how to be an engaged reader, thinker, writer, and maker. You’ll 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. On BA English Literature and Drama with a Placement Year, you’ll normally spend 9-12 months of your third year in a placement, gaining invaluable working experience and employability skills in a relevant area of your choice.
