Hi everyone, I’m Jason, and I’m the Hong Kong student ambassador. I’m currently a second-year Accounting and Finance student.
I enjoyed learning at UEA since the practical knowledge was taught in a straightforward and interactive way. The UEA Norwich Business School also provides a variety of accreditation that is connected to many professional association examinations, like ACA, CIM, etc. NBS students may find it easy to adapt to the real business environment because of the strong assistance of NBS and Career Central.
We may learn at UEA on a wonderful campus that is located in a historic city. I will always remember my first visit to UEA and the beauty of the campus, including the lake and Sainsbury Centre. Studying in the Avengers headquarters must be a unique experience for UEA students only. Norwich is an ancient city that you should visit in your leisure time. Norwich Market, which was founded in the 11th century, is always the perfect spot for me to discover various types of cuisine on weekends.
If you have any questions or wish to know more about UEA, please feel free to contact me via Unibuddy on the UEA website!
