West Africa

My name is Destiny Onu, the ambassador for West Africa; I am an undergraduate student studying International development.

I first heard about UEA on a YouTube video and I decided to study here after visiting and falling in love with the campus. It was the perfect mix: great access to city life, but peaceful enough to study and focus on my degree; that balance was important to me.  

My application process was smooth. I simply wrote my personal statement and filled out the application and awaited my results and the confirmation of my place. My course didn't require an interview or anything of that nature. Once I received the email that I had got in, an applicant day was arranged and I was able to visit the university and learn more.

I study International Development, which UEA specialises in. It's a fantastic course with a diverse study range and I've been able to pick from a range of diverse modules. Most importantly, the lecturers are enthusiastic. I've made great friends in my course, who are supportive and provide that study community that is always nice to have.  

If I could give any advice to students considering UEA, I’d say to not worry about feeling isolated or excluded. UEA is diverse and you'll meet people from all over the world, some like you and some different. Just be open to engaging with people. 

Why not chat to me directly through the Ask a Student platform or on the Nigerian Students Facebook page?
