We facilitate global student mobility, managing an exciting portfolio of study abroad and exchange programmes for both incoming and outgoing students through more than 200 global partnerships.
Incoming visiting students can study with us for one semester, a full year, or for a short course, such as a summer programme, with academic credit transferable to the home institution. Programmes are available through inter-university exchange and independent enrolment as a fee paying student, with customised short programmes also available for partner universities.
If you are interested in studying abroad at UEA, book a call with our Incoming Team to find out more.
Many UEA students can participate in outgoing study or work placements across the globe for one semester, a full year or for a short course, such as a summer programme. Opportunities abroad enhance the academic experience, and studies show this experience increases employability prospects.
Any UEA students interested in studying abroad are welcome to join an open-forum virtual "drop-in" session to chat with a Study Abroad Adviser, between 14:00 – 16:00 on Wednesdays.

Study Abroad Fairs
Are you currently studying at one of our partner institutions? This means you can study abroad at UEA as an exchange student without paying any tuition fees to UEA!
Details of any virtual or in-country fairs we’re attending will be listed below. Also speak with your home university’s study abroad office to find out when they host their outbound study abroad fair.
Email us, book a video call with our visiting team, or Register your interest to study abroad at UEA and we’ll get back to you. And if you’re hosting a study abroad fair, let us know! We may be able to attend.
All study abroad fairs hosted by our exchange partners or by relevant associations in your home country are currently being attended by UEA virtually. Our in-country presence is anticipated to resume in late 2021/early 2022, once physical events begin to be hosted.
Academic Tasters
Experience our subject-specific virtual taster sessions to find out more about studying your academic areas of interest at UEA. You’ll be able to ask questions to UEA staff and students.
Interested in the study of Japan? UEA’s Centre for Japanese Studies and The Sainsbury Institute also host a series of online events and short courses relating to Japanese arts and cultures.
Explore UEA and Norwich by taking one of our virtual tours – hear from current UEA students and take a 360 view of where students study and learn, relax and enjoy all the brilliant things about life living and learning at UEA.

*All academic tasters are currently hosted virtually. On-campus activity and residential programmes are anticipated to resume in 2022.
Partner Visits
We frequently visit our exchange partners in-country, and welcome visits from partners to our campus. This is a great opportunity to experience the community atmosphere of the campus environment, as well as meeting with staff and students to learn about our courses and facilities.
If you are planning a trip to Europe, we encourage you to visit us! We’re just 30 minutes away from Amsterdam by plane and less than 2 hours from London by train. We’ll be pleased to make recommendations for your travel and accommodation, and will happily arrange campus accommodation in our guest suite*, so you can really immerse yourself in to living on campus as well as learning more about what it could be like to study with UEA.
And whilst you can’t make it to visit us in person, we’ll be really pleased to host an online visit; you’ll still meet our staff and students and learn more about UEA and what we can offer, with the benefit of experiencing UEA through our virtual tours of campus and Norwich.
To arrange your visit email us and the next time we’re in your area we’d really like to visit you too!
*subject to availability.
International Educators' Conferences
UEA staff from our global programmes and partnerships teams regularly attend events to meet with existing and prospective exchange partners. Each year these include EAIE (September), APAIE (March) and NAFSA (May), amongst some other events, to discuss opportunities for future collaboration. Please let us know which events you’re attending – we look forward to arranging to meet you there.
