At UEA, students won’t just learn about what other people have done, thought or said; they will learn by doing things for themselves. This is because the university believes students learn best by experiencing the challenges of the subject first-hand.
Many of UEA’s lecturers and teachers are leading experts in their fields. For example, Dr Michael Wormston is an expert in cataract research, while Dr Eylem Atakav is running the first course in the UK on Women, Islam and Media. While successful academics, UEA staff are equally as dedicated to students and their studies as they are to their own research.
This means UEA course content is informed by the latest thinking and most up-to-date research. It also means that as well as gaining a solid grounding in the study area, students will graduate with in-depth knowledge of the aspects of their subject that are still emerging today.
The university also has a partnership with INTO UEA which offers academic preparation courses and English language programmes designed specifically for international students.
