:focus(3370x856:3371x857))
Immerse yourself in a world of writing
Join us on UEA's campus in Norwich, the City of Stories, in July 2027 to learn from experts and immerse yourself in a world of writing.
UEA is recognised worldwide as the home of Creative Writing. We were the first to teach the subject in Europe more than 50 years ago and have since trained countless award-winning writers, including Booker Prize winners and a Nobel Laureate for Literature. This two-week summer study programme provides a unique opportunity to study at the UK's most prestigious university for Creative Writing and learn from a diverse team of leading academics, published authors, and specialists in fiction, non-fiction and place-based writing.
You'll leave the course as a more confident, skilled and imaginative writer and storyteller, with new pieces for your portfolio and fresh perspectives shaped by Norwich's rich literary heritage.
