West Africa

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

When looking for a course to study and a university to attend, I came across a video on Youtube of an ex-UEA student speaking of his remarkable experience at UEA. Immediately, I booked an open day and fell in love with the campus and the course description. Although it was a rainy and grey day when I attended the open day, the UEA campus was gleaming in my eyes, the greenery that surrounded the campus, the access to a gym, bank, bookstore and many other exceptional facilities, all in walking distance, was excellent.

As well as UEA’s facilities on the campus, you have great access to some fascinating architecture and beautiful beaches. And for those who want to be a true tourist, it is a short coach or train ride away from London. I finally made my decision to come to UEA after attending my applicant day and witnessing the enthusiasm the lecturers spoke with. It is comforting to know that the people who will assist you in working towards your degree and building your career are rooting for you and show it in the academic support they give.

Before coming to UEA, I was worried about the workload and my adjustment to student life but the student support here is exceptional. In little to no time, I became well-acquainted to the Uni and joined an array of societies offered by the Uni. For me, UEA specialises in more than just my degree. They specialise in providing state of the art equipment to work with and offering a comfortable and diverse environment to work in. When looking for a University, it is imperative to look for somewhere that specialises in your degree but also somewhere that can be a home, a stress-reliever and an opportunity giver. UEA offers all four and more.
