I am an erasmus student from Italy and I found really easy to fit into uea. Courses are interesting, lecturers are very competent and teach with enthusiasm. I study art history so for me is very important to be at Uea for my year abroad because of the Sainsbury centre of Arts, well known all over Europe.

It’s been a shame to have it online and I definitely feel I missed out on the University experience, but my tutors did everything they could to make it easier for us. My specific school were much better than the University as a whole who kept promising a return to face to face leading people to pay for rent, then not acknowledging how problematic this is whenever we remained online. I have preferred lectures online because I find them easier to access, especially when recorded in parts. Seminars have been more challenging due to the resistance from many students to take part. The most unfortunate part of being online this year has been the lack of socialising. Many of the clubs and societies did not run events and it was lonely at times.

Lots of support available at student services. It is hard to access counselling but they offer alternative services while you wait.

Usually in person but completely online during COVID. In first year I had less support due to being a lower priority which was disappointing, but second year has been brilliant. Tutors respond to emails promptly and offer video calls to discuss work whenever I need.
