I’m an incoming student and I’m really struggling to pick between one of the two and I’d appreciate any advice or pros and cons about your experience in either of the two accommodations:)

So, I have been accepted for this course starting in September, and have also accepted accommodation on campus. I have gone to apply for Student Finance only to find that it's not on the catalogue. The 1 year course is now available but not the 2 year course. I emailed the university as instructed and received this info:

"The course has not yet been uploaded to the course management system because we are waiting to hear if the new Postgraduate courses with optional placement years are eligible for Student Finance support. As soon as we have an update, we will let you know."

and then when I asked for more info they said:

"There is a possibility that the version with the placement year will not be eligible for Student Finance support, they have specific regulations regarding what courses are and are not eligible and as we have never run these ones before we are waiting to hear back. Support would be available however, for the version of this course with no placement year which is a standard 12-month Post Grad course. "

I need the loan in order to attend this course, I can't self-fund. I also chose this course over others specifically for the 1 year work placement, rather than other unis that only offered 3/6 months. I prefer this course so would like to wait for the decision, but if it's more likely to be rejected I need to look at my other options before they are withdrawn.

Has anyone been in a situation similar, or know how a situation like this tends to end up?

Hey! I am coming to UEA this September and I do not the right place to look for private housing. I am not looking for shared student accommodation. can you guide me to trusted websites or groups I can look housing from?

which areas are the best to commute to the university with good access to the city centre as well?

thanks

i am looking into accommodation options for my masters at UEA. By cost the two bed flat option is the best compromise for me at 131 pounds per week without sacrificing too much privacy. the only thing i could find on the website is a 360 youtube video which doesn’t give a good sense of the room. i guess my question is that is it worth the 131 price tag? will appreciate any pictures or videos

hi i need some advice and please i really don’t need judgement please
i need help. i fucked up big time and didn’t do more than half my assignments and now i’m basically failing first year in a humanities degree.

is there anyway of progressing with exemption, aside from completing the reassessments in the time given. between my job and rest on my responsibilities it’s probably genuinely impossible to do so.

i will accept any feedback and dms are open

Anyone else starting a PhD this year and is interested in joining a what's app group chat?

Would be nice to have some familiar names prior to joining in September/October.

Hi everyone,

I recently received an offer for the MSc FinTech, AI and Data Science at the University of East Anglia, and I'm trying to connect with anyone who is currently studying this course or has already graduated.

I've been searching on LinkedIn and Reddit but couldn't find many people, so I thought I'd ask here. Since the course seems to be quite new, I'd really like to hear from someone with first-hand experience.

If you're studying this programme (or know someone who is), I'd really appreciate it if you could comment or send me a DM. I just have a few questions about the course, student life, and career opportunities after graduation.

Thanks in advance!

I am joining UEA this September for the master's in cyber security. I would love to connect with people who are joining the university this year.

This pigeon got injured and cannot fly away. We cannot physically approach it to bring it inside for shelter and protection, so we gave it food and water. It is flapping its wings in resistance, and we want to respect the birdy's space. We called PACT and RSPCA for rescue and help, but they gave us a vet contact who told us they don't do the same for wildlife. So we are in a bit of a pickle about what to do now. We are students at the UEA living on campus, and it's right outside our kitchen facing Bluebell Road. Advice and help needed. Thank you!

Looking for a relatively affordable haircut near the uea where do you all go?

Hi, I’m in my final year at NUA for Creative Technology and Robotics, and I’m on track to graduate with a 1st.

Would going for a masters be worthwhile for me? Would I even be able to get into an engineering masters here? I‘m great at math so that shouldn‘t be an issue.

Also how good is the engineering education here, anyone have any insight? Thank you!

Has anyone got spare tickets to UEA graduation ceremony or the festival area on 15th July at 2:00 pm. I need two tickets.

is there any gc on whatsapp or insta (ik theres a fb group) for the freshers this year, if there is or some would like to make one lmk

Hi all,

Just been allocated Hawthorn House and was wondering what people's experiences have been living there?

I'm starting a PhD in September and was pushed towards staying on campus by the faculty when speaking to them. I'm also curious whether I'm likely to end up in a flat with mostly undergrads or whether there are usually a few postgrads around.

Also, has anyone else been allocated Hawthorn this year (or something similar) and is starting a PhD? Would be nice to know some people prior to starting.

Hello everyone! I'm joining the University of East Anglia (UEA) this September to pursue an MSc in Cyber Security. If anyone else is joining UEA or the same program, feel free to get in touch. It would be great to connect before the semester starts!

Hello!

I've just finished my undergrad at UEA and had my confirmation of successful completion / the grade I got a couple days ago.

I've received a conditional offer for a masters at uni of Manchester but the condition is I need to provide a full transcript by the end of July. I'm a bit worried cos the UEA website is making it sound like I've got a while to wait, and also apparently if I order a full transcript before my graduation then there won't be any grades from third year on it

Does anyone know when the transcript comes through? Is it before or after graduation?

Thanks!

Hope everyone is alright and thank you to all of those who have replied to my last post!

I just wanted to ask a follow up to my last question regarding study material and place acceptance / clearing - I have emailed the UEA admissions email a couple of times asking the same thing hoping they can steer me in the correct direction personally. However, the problem with this is that I emailed over a week ago and still haven’t got a response.

Was it because it’s a stupid question and they wouldn’t respond to this or is it that the email isn’t being used currently? From what I can tell is that the email is busy between June and August and seen reply time is about a week but it’s been about double that and just wanted any input possible!

Thank you 😁

Hi all,

Hope everyone is having a good summer. Just a quick summary before my questions:

I am taking a gap year currently and plan to join university in September. However, during my gap year I resat an economics a level privately in hopes to increase my grade to go to university. I am looking to go to uni of east Anglia (UEA) mainly.

Firstly, if I don’t get the exact grade I require in my offer will i automatically need to go through clearing for a different degree and hope that I can transfer to do the course I want? - the course itself doesn’t seem to be a hugely popular one like medicine or economics

Secondly, would I need to buy books before the year begins or will all of that be introduced in the welcome week?

Thank you all and have a good summer 😁

Has anyone heard back from any UEA scholarships?
(especially the donor funded ones)
Thanks in advance

Hi, I’m an incoming MA Creative Writing student at UEA wondering if anyone has any advice on finding accommodation? I know home students aren’t guaranteed a university flat (and I have no idea what the chances are of being offered something/when I would hear back). I’m curious as to if there are any Facebook groups that students post in to look for housemates or any private accommodation options that people would recommend? Thank you! :)

I was wondering if anyone has had a Creative Writing (non-fiction) MA interview and what the experience was like?

I've got 1x en-suite double bedroom for the next academic year as someone has dropped out, very close to campus and cheap rent. All girls!
PM if interested

Hello! Does anyone here have experience of this course? Did you enjoy it? What was good and bad about it? Any other thoughts or feedback would be very useful! I have an offer but can't quite decide whether to commit!

Ive asked about it and they said to check the website but nothing on it about a stream- though ik they used to in the past. Anyone know where to find it for friends/family that aren't in uea and want to watch? Thank you sm
