The American Studies with Creative Writing degree programme provides an introduction to the demands and challenges of creative practice. In this degree, creative writing is offered as a subsidiary subject taken in conjunction with the study of American literature. UEA has a long tradition of providing courses in the writing of fiction, poetry and drama and has close and active links with the world of contemporary writing. The third year of this degree programme is spent abroad, providing you with an invaluable academic and cultural experience, one that most students consider to be the highlight of their time at university. You will spend the majority of the third year studying in America or Canada - with the option of spending a semester in Australia, New Zealand, or Hong Kong. This opportunity allows you to appreciate American literature and creative writing from a different perspective; furthermore some institutions will provide you with internship placements in organisations such as publishers, newspapers and TV stations. See the “Year Abroad” tab for more details.
