Student support and organisation needs more improvement
Teaching on online classes negatively impacted learning due to less engagement
Some of the campus is very dated and hard to navigate. However, the campus is set on beautiful grounds and serves me well when deadlines are coming up that I can utilise the outside space. The lecturers are really friendly and we are given lots of opportunities to learn and get first hand experience to prepare us for practice. The food offering on campus are poor and tend to be overpriced. Rarely options to buy something healthy and they are quick fast food meals.
I love the course. The lecturers are so helpful and supportive. We are given amazing opportunities to learn and develop in our professional practice. We were lucky enough to get first hand experience in some areas of training which is priceless for improving our development
Campus life is an ever ending opportunity to do new things and discovery, as well as having a close knit community there is a good atmosphere to the university.
Physiotherapy at UEA is packed with content and opportunities to expand your knowledge and improve transferable skills which can be used in the professional world. Lots of contact time allows for a very hands on experience which has not only improved my confidence with patients but sets us apart from other courses that are not as practical heavy.
I think that Norwich is a really nice city. The uni is nice but the support isn't great!
poor support from uni, very full on course. Everything due very close together and not thought out
Best: there is a big lake and grass for us to picnic Worst: some lectures are boring
Best: we have the opportunity to learn in placements Worst: online classes are not engaging and hard to focus during online lessons
All of the lecturers and course support for my course are absolutely amazing! I’ve struggled with my personal life the past few weeks and they’ve been so helpful and understanding, I wouldn’t still be at university without them.
I wish the course was more in person and more interactive
I love Norwich so much but not everywhere is easily accessible for placement when I don’t drive
I love my room but it’s not worth the price at all, definitely not a homely environment
Diversity and openness is very nice at the university. Worst aspect is that there is no parking available and if there is it is very expensive.
Online teaching is very good. Lecturer support very vague and not always supportive.

The best aspect of UEA is the support and help that is given if a student is struggling. The UEA goes above and beyond in any type of support from finance to mental health. Staff and lectures find a way to make the lectures as easy and as interactive as possible. I couldn’t ask for any more from the UEA. I wouldn’t say I have any ‘worst’ aspects, however I was one of the first cohorts to join the UEA from covid. The uea at first struggled to find a best way. I expected things to be different. The UEA ensured there was support in place for each student. I couldn’t be more happy with the experience I have had. Thank you.
I absolutely love the course I am doing. I wouldn’t change any of my decisions When I began my course majority was online due to covid. However the university tried to give as many face to face lectures as well as online lectures. All online lectures where recorded which was really helpful when revising and recapping Practical and simulation is really helpful at uni to learn skills and put my skills into practice.
UEA is based on a beautiful campus with lots of sports facilities. Some of the building are a bit ugly with lots of concrete but the newer buildings are nicer. Easy to get into the city if wanted and Norwich is a lovely city. Their student services are great and I would recommend using them for assignments. It has been hard during covid to get face to face teaching and more face to face would be better.
My academic advisor has not been very useful on my course and I have needed to access UEA support, which luckily has been great. There is a lot of online learning which I don't see going anywhere soon. This is ok if you work well this way which some don't. The course generally consists of theory blocks and then placements at hospitals/community nursing. The theory consists of online learning on a Monday directed study Tuesday, online lectures Wednesday morning and face to face seminars Thursday. Friday can be study days or sometimes practical skill days. Most lecturers are good and lectures are interesting ,especially when they invite service users to tell their story which they often do. I have studied at another University and this one is better at preparing you for literature searching and research & assignments.
The UEA campus feels safe and inclusive. Their are lots of diferent nationalities that study here. Location is a bit out from city centre but a short bus ride away. They also have the scooters and e bikes to use too. Lots of nice cafe's in Norwich and a pretty place to live.
The university has a great vibe. It has beautiful surroundings and there is so much to get involved within. I am a parent, mature student, I commute and I have a disability. All of these things enable me to be supported in different societies, funding and by different teams within the university. I feel the most enabled I have ever felt and I am so passionate about being part of this University. The course itself has been very good so far, If I could suggest any improvements it would be communication. However we have just experienced a global pandemic and are just getting back to life as normal (ish) so i feel everyone has learned a thing or two.
My course has been really good so far and my placement was really well set up with good communication. With my disability I have found it hard to focus in online learning so that has definitely been a struggle but I have been sure to make the most of in-class teaching time. I feel so luck to have experienced all that I have so far.
I dont personally live in Norwich as I commute however Norwich can be expensive at times but is not expensive compared to other cities in the UK! The public transport can be unreliable however a lot of my friends rely on it and still manage to attend all of their classes even if the busses are running behind.
