Can't make it to campus?
We understand that not everyone can make it to Norwich to visit us in person, so along with your invitation to your campus Applicant Day you will receive a link to your personalised Applicant Hub. Your Applicant Hub is full of on-demand content about your course, with videos from a both a lecturer and a current student, as well as everything else that life at UEA has to offer, from our accommodation to student support services, careers and employability advice and more. You can also explore our beautiful campus and the vibrant city of Norwich.
As your Hub is personal to you, you will need your unique link to access it. If you can't find the link, don't worry, just email admissions@uea.ac.uk and we'll resend it.
Questions?
Check out FAQs section below, or contact us on recruitmentevents@uea.ac.uk and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
What happens at an Applicant Day?
Applicant Days are split into subject sessions and other optional activities such as tours and Q&A panels. If you attend an Applicant Day on a Wednesday, your optional activities will take place first, followed by your subject activities. If you attend an Applicant Day on a Saturday you will join your subject activities first, followed by the optional activities. If you have already been to an Open Day and feel like you have fully explored our campus and accommodation, then you are welcome to join just for your subject sessions. Or we also offer a free bus ticket in to Norwich on the day of your Applicant Day, so you can explore the city centre at your own pace.
For more information on the schedule for your Applicant Day, see our Applicant Day programmes page, where you'll find an example programme for your subject and schedules for the different days.
To find out what to expect from your Applicant Day from a student perspective, check out our student blog.
What happens after your Applicant Day?
Your Applicant Hub is a brilliant resource to come back to after your Applicant Day. You can find out more about things like student finance, accommodation and everything you need to know about getting ready to come to university. Your personal link to the Applicant Hub will be emailed to you, but if you can't find it just email us on admissions@uea.ac.uk and we'll resend it.
There are two sections to the Applicant Day; the subject sessions and the optional activities. If you have already visited UEA, you may want to prioritise attending the subject sessions over the optional activities.
The optional activities include tours of campus, accommodation and other facilities such as the library and Sportspark. We also host a Life at UEA talk, which is a Q&A panel between a lecturer and current students on what life is really like at UEA. You'll also get the opportunity to ask your own questions.
