Hi everyone! I’m Eiki, and I’m the International Ambassador for Japan.
I am currently studying MA Globalisation, Business and Sustainable Development. I chose this course because UEA is well-known for having great curriculums for climate change and international development. The School of Global Development* comprises courses like Impact Evaluation, Development Economics, and Climate Change, to mention a few. Their subject matter is to understand economies, from analysing issues like poverty to inequality and creating policy recommendations through research studies. My course, Globalisation, Business and Sustainable Development provides a wide range of modules, including the international business aspect. In addition, modules are full of interactive discussions with students from various backgrounds, which is a great chance to expand your horizons.
UEA provides an excellent environment for students. For postgraduate students, there is a designated study space in the library and the Scholar’s bar, which is a bar only accessible to postgraduate students. As for extra curriculum activities, student unions provide a variety of activities and services, including a whole range of societies and clubs. For example, I joined UEA Day Walks Society and enjoyed visiting Norfolk’s stunning National Heritage sites and exploring a variety of terrains, including forests and beaches.
As for career support, UEA has a supportive careers service centre which helps students apply for their first job, help with a career change or support students’ further study destination. In addition, we can get help with writing CVs or exploring companies from professional Careers Advisers, online resources, events and more, both on campus and online.
UEA is in the heart of Norwich. This small city in the east of England is safe and quiet, but what I find interesting the most are its people. They are welcoming, respectful, and willing to engage in any conversation. Norwich marketplace is also one of my favourite places in Norwich, where you can find street foods from many countries. Norwich is a great place to concentrate on studying and enjoy student life.
はじめまして。イーストアングリア大学の日本人アンバサダーの長安 瑛希と申します。
私はイーストアングリア大学の大学院で国際開発学を学んでおり、MA Globalisation, Business and Sustainable Developmentのコースを専攻しています。イーストアングリア大学は気候変動問題や国際開発学に関する素晴らしいカリキュラムがあることで有名で、自分の専門分野をより深く学びたいと考えてこのコースを選びました。
国際開発学の授業では、国内外の貧困・格差問題の分析から、調査に基づく政策提言の策定など様々な分野で社会経済の研究をしています。
私が専攻するGlobalisation, Business and Sustainable Developmentのコースでは、グローバルビジネスの観点を交えた国際開発学を勉強しています。授業においては幅広いバックグラウンドを持つ学生とディスカッションをする機会が多く、自身の視野を広げる貴重な機会となっています。
イーストアングリア大学は自然豊かな場所にあり、24時間利用可能な図書館や大学院生専用のバー、様々な国の料理が食べられる食堂など非常に過ごしやすい環境が揃っています。課外活動においては日本でいうサークルや部活動が数多くあり、私もDayWalkSocietyというサークルに所属しイギリスの自然豊かな国立公園や森林公園にサークルメンバーとハイキングを楽しんでいます。
また、大学にはキャリアサービスセンターがあり、学生の就職活動や進路相談をサポートしています。キャリアサービスセンターにはプロのキャリアアドバイザーが在籍しており、履歴書の書き方や企業探しのサポートなど留学生にも手厚いサポートを提供しています。
大学はイングランド東部のノーリッチという街にあります。ノーリッチは自然豊かで治安が良いことで有名ですが、個人的にはノーリッチに住む人々は非常に明るく社交的な人が多いなと思っています。中世の街並みが残る市街地には観光名所の大聖堂や世界中のストリートフードを食べられるマーケットがあり、学生生活を楽しむには最適な場所です
