MSc Cognitive Neuroscience

University of East Anglia UEA

It has a lovely library with separate spaces and plenty of computers and books available for students! They’re also always giving something away such as food or goodie bags!

The best experience is making my friends and starting a course I am actually interested in with staff who specialise in what i what to do, the worst part is a change of routine

Being moved off campus presented some problems when it came to socialising and participating in events. However, there was always events every week and so many societies and clubs to choose from. It is easy to report any problems and the university is flexible to your needs

I don’t live in campus, but all the events that are organized by student union are very cool. Education is interesting and informative. I enjoy my education here.

Everybody on campus is really friendly, there is a real sense of community and nights out at the student union are a great way to bump into familiar faces. The resources through blackboard are great and you can access lots of journals through UEA library. The Library itself is open 24/7. My lecturers are very interested in their studies and all of the content is recorded and accessible at any time, meaning if you miss anything live it is always available to catch up on or look back at things you weren’t too sure of in the moment. I got really lucky in the flatmate department and would recommend ziggs to anyone looking for sociable people and late nights. The lake outside is lovely in summer and everybody goes out for bbqs etc.In terms of nightlife, the only downside is taxis are a bit of a nightmare at the end of the night to get hold of, so book in advance or walk home (approx an hour).I’d say definitely join sports clubs or societies, it’s a great way to meet new people and there is always something going on with the student union to get involved with. I’ve loved my time at UEA and would recommend it to anyone, it made me transform from not wanting to go to uni to recommending the experience to anyone and everyone!

Best aspects are the library that's open at all times so I can study at any time and people here are super friendly. I do not like the 9 am lectures
