The UEA Award

The UEA Award certifies our students' achievements in ways employers value – giving you a competitive advantage in your chosen job market.

The award gives you recognition for a range of academic and extra-curricular activities that help develop your skills and attributes, for employment and life.

These activities include:

• Giving presentations

• Volunteering

• Finding and making the most of internships

• Entrepreneurship

• Creating videos

• Society involvement

• and so much more

Join the UEA Award:

Current students can register to join the UEA Award on MyCareerCentral (current login required).
 

If you graduated in the last three years, you can still join the UEA Award, registering on MyCareerCentral as a graduate.

How it works

The UEA Award helps our students reflect on the skills they gain from their academic and extra-curricular activities.

It's a simple framework that helps you articulate your achievements to employers.

Certification

By getting involved in the award, you don't just gain new experience and skills – you also receive a certificate from the university. The scheme allows you to devote time to your future career alongside your study commitments in a way that suits your lifestyle

The award has three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold.

Our students must complete a certain number of hours of activity to reach each of these levels.

• Bronze level is a series of online activities and related quizzes that give you the foundation for completing the other UEA Award stages.
   

• Silver and Gold levels require short reflections on activities that fall within four categories: Academic, Work-related, Campus and Personal and Career Management. Each category has a specific number of hours of activities to complete.

Our careers service can support you on your journey.
