UEA host webinars throughout the year to provide information and insight for prospective students. These online sessions range from covering student finance to specific insight about opportunities for mature students.

This programme offers bespoke support for mature students who are applying to study at UEA. Participants are offered one-to-one support throughout the application process as well as guidance for those progressing into our courses.

This unique annual event is designed specifically for students currently completing an Access to Higher Education diploma. The event is typically held in autumn term (usually October/November) and encourages attendees to learn more about university services, experience an academic taster and gain valuable insight into mature student life.

UEA have created a free online course on Interview Skills for University Nursing Programme Applicants on Future Learn. This course is designed for those aiming to progress into health degrees and provides a support in developing a toolkit of skills and techniques to help people get the most out of their experience. We also offer mini mock interviews as part of our Health application and interview support. This offers a fantastic opportunity for those to have a practice run with a mock interview before the real deal. This opportunity is available for students currently studying level 3 qualifications between November and January each year. Please email us for more information.

Studying abroad is an excellent opportunity to enrich your academic experience and add a global perspective to your degree.

At UEA, you can undertake an academic placement with one of our 190 partner universities worldwide. Opportunities are available for a semester, a full academic year, or through shorter programmes during university breaks.

We recognise that mature students often balance study with work, family, or other commitments. Our wide range of destinations and flexible placement lengths means there are options designed to suit a variety of circumstances, allowing you to choose a programme that aligns with your personal and professional needs.

The Study Abroad team is here to guide you through every stage of the process. They can advise you on suitable destinations, placement structures, application requirements, and the administrative steps involved.

Financial support is available through Student Finance loans and bursaries, the UK Government’s Turing Scheme, and additional UEA funding.

More details about support and finances can be found on the 'Your Study Abroad Questions Answered’ page.
