Course summary


Overview

Do you want to study words and images in unison? Our course explores the intertwined histories of art and literature across different eras. You’ll examine the most significant European, British and American literature, and encounter thought-provoking artworks from around the world. UEA’s world-leading department of Art History and World Art Studies, together with our prestigious School of Literature, Drama, and Creative Writing, are two of the most famous and highly regarded academic departments in the UK. You’ll study in the world-famous Sainsbury Centre, which was designed by Norman Foster. We’re the only Art History Department in the UK located within a world-renowned art museum. On this History of Art and Literature with a Year Abroad degree you’ll work across disciplines. You’ll explore the relationship between artistic movements, literature and the visual culture, and word and image. You’ll study the medieval period, the modernist era, and postmodernity. You’ll examine texts and artworks, including significant aspects of European art history. You’ll also explore the work of artists and material culture from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. You’ll study in Norwich, a UNESCO City of Literature with a vibrant contemporary writing scene. Great literature has been produced here since the 14th century when Julian of Norwich became the first woman to write a book in English. In more recent times, UEA graduates include Nobel Laureate Sir Kazuo Ishiguro, Booker Prize winner Ian McEwan, and Costa Award winner Emma Healey. We’re part of an international network for the study and display of art. This includes the Sainsbury Centre, Sainsbury Research Unit for the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas, and Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures. One of the many advantages of the network is the opportunity it provides to connect you with local and national museums. Our graduates have gone on to rewarding and exciting careers in the cultural, creative, and heritage sectors. We look forward to you joining our community. On this version of the course, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to spend your third year studying at one of our partner institutions across the globe.
