Drama at the University of East Anglia has been ranked 2nd in the Guardian University Guide 2012, leaving other prestigious theatre and drama schools in its shadow. This programme offers you the opportunity to study creative writing for each of the major dramatic media - theatre, cinema, television and radio - combined with practical, critical and historical studies in dramatic literature and performance. You will be introduced to the specific formats, conventions and techniques of scriptwriting for different forms, and will learn by writing scenes and short scripts, and critiquing each others' work. Working alongside students on other drama programmes, you will develop your writing skills in the context of an understanding of many aspects of theatre work, including acting, rehearsal and production methods. You will be able to opt to do the Drama Internship in year 2, which involves a work placement in a drama-producing organisation or environment and you will be able to take part in production and practical project work.
