Alejandro - one of our Spanish students
Hi everyone. My name is Alejandro and I will show you some of the reasons why you have to study here in Norwich!
Even though I have arrived at UEA in a world pandemic, I have been amazed with this campus and this city. The campus is full of interesting activities and it has everything that a student could need, a huge four floor library, shops, bars and many other facilities that will interest you for sure.
When I first came to UEA, I took a flight from Madrid to London, and I took a bus which goes directly from the airport to the city centre. Once there me and other Spanish students I met during the flight took a taxi from to the campus, where we had a really warm (and safe) welcome by the Students Union.
I have been surprised in many aspects since the day I arrived. I have been able to join some of the hundreds of societies available and I have also joined some of the sports clubs. And the other thing I have been surprised by is the ease of getting a job while you are studying - there are lot of fairs and events with businesses looking for employees and offering a wide range of different careers.
I study Business Management and I am in my first year. I have three modules per semester and all of them provide you the opportunity to do formative assessments during the module to be given marks and feedback. On each lecture we are around 180 people in one module, and around 300 in the other two. Although it can sound quite a lot people, there is a good atmosphere where everyone participates and collaborates in an organised way.
UEA is home to more than 4,000 students from outside the UK and we welcome students from Spain to join our vibrant community.
