MRes Postgraduate Research in Chemistry

University of East Anglia UEA

Regarding the student life and students' union, I have not participated a lot to be honest because I do not have time. But I gave them 5 stars in my rating because I bieleve they would be like other high quality and organised aspects I have found at the univrsity. Among the best points I like at the university of East Anglia (UEA) is the real support and the true desire to help by all of its staff. For example, the teaching and the lab staff in my school are not only experts and teach and explain in great way, but also they are very supportive. Same thing with the library staff, student-information-zone staff, medical-centre staff and other departments. All of them welcoming, friendly and supportive. For me as an international student and non-native English speaker, sometimes I face difficulties in communication, sometimes I unintentionally do something wrong because I do not know the rules, sometimes I need help about other issues. I find all staff supportive, patient, kindly explain things for me and more than happy to help. Another point, I like the excellent learning environment the university provide. There is the library which is outstanding and I can access 24 hours a day/7 days a week. There are the online tools and the computer programmes that help to study effectively and also help with the area of my study. There are PC rooms in the schools. And also there is a team for learning enhancement. Also I like the beautiful green spaces to relax in at the campus of the university. To those who are interested in organic chemistry, I would like to mention that the Advanced Organic Chemistry MSc Course at UEA is expertly designed. The topics of the modules are modern and in demand, and also there are interesting and important topics for research. In terms of what I wish to be improved, I think it is the the prices at the university supermarket. In fact, I find the prices of some stuff are a little bit higher than other places in the city. Overall, I would like to say UEA is an excellent place to study. Yes the study at it required hard work, but it is worth it because it is rewarding. You will gain valuable knowledge in your field, acquire transferable skills and the strength of the UK qualification will open doors for you.

I love the architecture it is so interesting as well as the many art installations around campus. My course is great with the laboratories being sooo good! It’s a little far from Norwich town and it would be great if the buses were cheaper.

I am loving UES so far! The social aspect is amazing and the course is interesting and varied. Can't imagine myself anywhere else!

I have many opportunities to have fun, I enjoy the content but it is still a hard course to manage. I love the facilities and environment of the university and I am enjoying my experience overall

Excellent student union, good city life. Plenty of support available to students. 24/7 library, excellent fitness facilities. Various student societies that cater to different aspects of life.
