MSc Developmental Psychology: Clinical Applications to Children (Part Time)

University of East Anglia UEA

UEA is such a lovely university, I love how surrounded by nature I am! I can have a beautiful walk around the campus lake, and then go and party in the city! Which NEVER includes clubs, just the best cozy pubs around

I like the university campus as it has lots of social and study places along with lots of greenery however I feel the sense of community between the university as a whole is one of its weaknesses because it could be stronger.

It’s a great place to study with lots of support, my lecturers are friendly and have always come across as approachable, it could be improved by making a few of the website easier to navigate but that isn’t really an issue once you’ve used them a few times.

Social aspect is potentially the best so far as it involves many creative hobbies I would otherwise not be able to do. The worst part is potentially the mental health aspect of loneliness or home sickness so far as I am far from my previous support system

When I first got my accommodation offer, I wasn’t too happy and even contacted the university asking if I was able to change and they told me I had to wait until October to fill in the application. I was ready to be in and out of my dorm but when I got to my accommodation, it felt just right being there. I was also very lucky with my flatmates. We got along really well and go out together almost everyday, which made settling in so much easier especially as an international student. I was quite anxious before coming here as I thought I might feel like an outsider or be left out, but that was far from what actually happened, everyone’s been so welcoming and friendly. What makes the campus so beautiful is that everything you could ever need is right here, and that really makes up for its location being quite isolated from the city. Getting into the city doesn’t take long since there are buses that come directly to campus, but honestly, just the thought of leaving sometimes makes me not want to go at all. Since everything is available here, I rarely feel the need to leave campus unless it’s for clothes shopping. The teaching here is really good too. You can tell the lecturers genuinely care about students and group work. I’m still getting used to using Blackboard to view assignments and tasks though.
