Drama at the University of East Anglia has been ranked 8th in the UK in the 2016 Guardian University Guide. This programme combines modules in English literature with practical drama modules, enabling you to study the relationships between the practices of writing in all major genres - prose, poetry and drama - and the practices of dramatic production and acting. There is also the opportunity for you to study on placement with professional companies. A final year module brings the two subjects together in a study of the concept of genre, and of the adaptation of literature for the stage. The joint course in Literature and Drama divides your study between the two disciplines. The way in which you select modules means that you decide the precise balance between literature and drama in your course. You may, for example, choose to study a wide range of genres, including the novel and poetry, or gradually to specialise in dramatic literature. You will certainly have opportunities to study work from a wide range of periods, and to explore continuities between dramatic and literary theory. In your practical modules you will work alongside full-time drama students in the Studio which is highly adaptable for all stage and auditorium configurations and has full support facilities.
