Course Description
The vibrancy of UEA’s literary and artistic life and its strong commitment to inter-disciplinaritiy make it an ideal place to study this degree. Here students examine a variety of intellectual responses to modernity, engaging in debates across culture through a selection of modules from across the Arts and Humanities, mostly of their own choosing. Such study is reinforced by more generalised teaching in research methodologies and a range of research seminars. The School of Literature has especial strengths in modern writing and critical thinking; its Autumn and Spring literary festivals, in which leading writers take part, and the proximity of the Sainsbury Centre of Visual Arts, mean that the experience of culture on offer here is far from just academic.
The course provides an excellent training in theoretical debate and forms of cultural analysis, hence a strong foundation for further postgraduate study. Alternatively, its breadth and topicality make it a recognised pathway for careers in publishing, teaching, politics, management, journalism, the media and public life in general.
