Eun-Jin Kwon, Korean Student Ambassador

Hi everyone! I’m Minseo Cho, the Korean Student Ambassador at UEA. I’m currently a final year BA Media Studies student at UEA. I enjoy taking photos, cooking, and traveling. I have been to many European countries while studying abroad, which I consider one of the best aspects of studying in Norwich, the UK. 

The Media Studies course offers both theoretical and practical modules that I can choose from in the second year. I enjoyed selecting modules from both categories each term, which helped me specialize in not only theoretical modules (coursework or essays) but also practical modules (group or individual projects). I particularly enjoyed the Business of Film and TV, Media Globalisation and Culture for the former, and Live Television Studio Production for the latter. Currently, I am enrolled in Digital Storytelling and "We’re Here, We’re Queer," a gender-related module. 

I have been a part of UEA Ballet for three years, and it was a fantastic experience participating in the UEA Winter Dance Show in December of my second year. The ballet program is divided into beginners, intermediates, and advanced levels, making it easy to find a class that matches your ballet proficiency. Additionally, I joined UEA Yoga this year because it helps my body stay relaxed and balanced for ballet. With classes offered six days a week and two sessions per day, it's convenient to attend as often as you can. 

Regarding societies, I have participated in UEA TV for two years as my course-related society. This year, I joined the Korean Society as a publicity officer, creating content and managing social media accounts. Besides these, there are numerous sports clubs and societies based on your interests, so I'm confident you'll find one that you'll enjoy. I highly recommend joining! 

I feel very safe and vibrant living in Norwich. Even though Norwich is not a big city, it has large markets for buying groceries, department stores like John Lewis & Jarrolds, cute cafes, and authentic restaurants. My favourite place in Norwich is, of course, 'Bread Source,' a popular bakery. I also enjoy visiting Norwich Cathedral, which was featured in Harry Potter. It only takes less than 2 hours to get to London, making day trips feasible. 

Studying abroad can be challenging but exciting, providing opportunities to create valuable memories. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask through unibuddy.

안녕하세요! 이스트 앵글리아 대학교에서 한국대사를 맡은 권은진입니다.

저는 현재 기후변화 및 국제개발학과(Climate change and Global Development)에 석사과정에 재학 중입니다. 저는 한국에서 화공생명공학과 학사과정을 졸업했고, 졸업 후 5년 동안 여러 국가(탄자니아, 파키스탄, 나이지리아)에서 한국 정부 개발원조(ODA) 사업을 수행했었습니다.

이스트 앵글리아 대학교는 개발학부 내 세부적이며 다양한 전공을 가진 학교로 널리 알려져 있습니다. 개발학부 내 관심 있는 분야(섹터)의 전공을 선택할 수 있습니다.

특히 제 전공 분야는 국제개발 및 기후변화 분야 수업과 환경과학 분야 수업을 같이 들을 수 있습니다. 또한 Practitioner session이 포함되어, 여러 기관의 현직자들이 전하는 강의도 들을 수 있습니다. 아울러 개발학부에 속해 있어서 다양한 경험이 있는 다른 과 학생과도 경험을 나누고 세미나 및 토론을 할 수 있는 기회가 많습니다.

이스트 앵글리아 대학은 학생들에게 다양한 활동과 서비스를 제공합니다. 저는 ‘Day walks’라는 동아리에서 노퍽주 일일 여행을 하는 활동을 하고 있습니다. 트레킹을 좋아하신다면 매주 참여하실 수 있습니다. 동아리 활동은 여러분이 공부하는 동안 기분전환을 시켜줄 것입니다. 동아리는 회원이 아니더라도 참여할 수 있으며, 체험활동 후 동아리를 선택할 수 있습니다.

런던에서 기차로 2시간 정도 걸리는 노리치는 조용하고 평화롭습니다. 작은 도시이지만 백화점, 문화시설, 대형마트 등이 있으며 대형마트에서는 다양한 식자재 및 생필품을 구매할 수 있습니다. 또한 혼잡하지 않으며 공부에 집중하기 좋은 환경입니다.

해외 유학 생활은 기대감을 주면서도 걱정이 되기도 합니다. 입학 준비하시면서 궁금한 점이 있다면 언제든 연락주시기 바랍니다.
