The University of East Anglia has pioneered the teaching of creative writing, film and TV studies, world art, and entrepreneurship; and is leading the way in UK academic research into creativity and the creative process.
And today at UEA there are academics, researchers and practitioners, who are studying creativity across disciplines as diverse as world art, literature, entrepreneurship, creative writing, film, poetry, television, American studies, drama, translation studies, music composition, philosophy and aesthetics.
At UEA you can study and research across disciplines and boundaries that other Universities might not allow. When it was established, UEA adopted the motto “Do Different”, and it did this by making interdisciplinarity one of its founding themes. This is still central to what happens here. You can be part of a creative and intellectual community that is aspiring not just to do different -- but think different and be different.
