University of East Anglia

UEA logoBuilt on 320 acres of beautiful parkland, UEA has an international reputation for top quality teaching and research in a wide range of subject areas. Our flexible approach means that, after a broad introduction to your chosen subject, you can either specialise or choose options to suit your own needs and interests.

At UEA we welcome students of all ages and backgrounds and operate a flexible admissions policy, which takes into account your life and work experiences. We welcome applications from mature students - in fact about 15 per cent of our full-time undergraduates are over 21 when they begin their studies. So we are well able to cater for your needs, which may be different from those of school leavers.

Mature applicants are sometimes advised to undertake further study before beginning their degree. Call our Admissions Office on 01603 591515 for more information.

Part-time degree study

UEA offers part-time degree programmes in an increasing number of subject areas, offering a more flexible approach to learning. This means you can complete your studies over a longer period of time, typically 5-7 years. Your application for a part-time degree should be made directly to the School of Study and not through the UCAS system - call the Learning Shop or see our website www.uea.ac.uk for contact details.

UEA is named one of the UK's top three universities for student satisfaction. The first ever National Student Survey has shown that levels of satisfaction with the courses taught at UEA are among the highest in the country.

Only two mainstream universities ranked higher than UEA for overall satisfaction and only three were thought by their students to have better learning resources.

This is the first time that students have been asked for their views about the sector in this way and they gave a ringing endorsement of the quality of UEA's staff, teaching and student support.

The survey was undertaken in January 2005 by undergraduate final year students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Students rated their courses in seven areas:

  • overall satisfaction
  • teaching
  • assessment and feedback
  • academic support
  • organisation and management
  • learning resources
  • personal development

Have you ever thought about volunteering?

You know, volunteering is much more fun than you'd ever believe. You probably don't imagine that giving up just a little of your spare time could make such a huge difference to your city, town or village. But it does.[more]
