Course content

UEA is recognised today as the home of Creative Writing across the globe. We pioneered the teaching of the subject in Europe more than 50 years ago when our first student was Ian McEwan, who went on to win the Booker Prize and become one of Britain's most well-known authors. Since then, we have trained countless award-winning writers, including Sir Kazuo Ishiguro, the 2017 Nobel Laureate for Literature.

Although we teach all forms of writing, it is fiction especially which we have defined over the last fifty years. This course therefore gives an opportunity for students to experience our Creative Writing workshops and pedagogy while gaining experience of writing the form with which UEA is most associated.

Join us on UEA's campus in Norwich, England's first UNESCO City of Literature, in Summer 2026 to learn from experts and immerse yourself in a world of literature alongside likeminded writers.

Further information about this accredited academic summer school can be found in our Course Handbook.
