The Faculty of Science at the University of East Anglia welcomes applications from international students.
There are over 2000 non-UK students studying at UEA, from over 100 countries across the globe. These include undergraduates, visiting and exchange students and postgraduate students studying towards a variety of qualifications. UEA offers a high quality educational experience for international undergraduates, as well as a friendly and supportive staff and student community.
