We have access to a diverse and exciting array of ecological resources to use in our research and teaching. Fieldwork allows us to illustrate concepts, practice techniques and provide students with direct ‘hands on’ experience of biological systems.
Students can also get involved in extracurricular conservation or wildlife related activities to further their interests and training e.g. the UEA bird ringing group.
UEA Campus
The campus not only provides a beautiful environment in which to live and work but also contains a wide range of different ecological habitats and ecosystems to explore.
Local field sites
The area around Norwich supports a wonderfully rich diversity of ecosystems, habitats and wildlife which provide excellent models systems for us to study and conserve.
Further afield
The annual field courses we run show the emphasis we place on fieldwork in our teaching.
