The University of East Anglia has pioneered the teaching of creative writing, world art, and entrepreneurship; and is now 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.

If you want to carry out research into creativity; or are looking for a home for a PhD; or if you are an artist, thinking about an artists’ residency or a PhD in Art by practice, then please browse the links and then email Peter Bloore (Senior Lecturer in Creativity) and arrange to have a chat.
