As mathematics student at UEA , you will attend lectures and workshops given by leading academics, and engage in group work and private study towards your mathematics degree. You will also be able to get involved in the wider student life of the University, meeting new people and exploring your hobbies and interests.
UEA Mathematics Community
You will be part of a supportive community of mathematics lecturers, tutors and students. Maths students have the use of their own undergraduate common room “The Russell Room” for studying and meeting up between lecturers. Elected year and course reps attend Staff–Student Liaison Committee meetings, where key teaching staff ask for feedback from students on potential changes to their courses, and students are able to raise concerns and make suggestions for improvements.
UEA MathSoc
MathSoc is a student-run society that brings lots of people together who have an interest in or are studying Mathematics. We host pub quizzes and a Christmas meal along with other socials and trips. MathSoc is the perfect place for you to meet and get to know lots of people from your course and mathematicians in other years. Non-maths students are also more than welcome to join.
To find out more, visit the MathSoc Facebook page.
Student Support
As an undergraduate student, one of the maths lecturers will be assigned to be your ‘Academic Adviser’. This person will be there to support you throughout your degree and can offer advice and guidance or pastoral and academic matters. Additional, more specialist, support is also available from the Student Support Service. Throughout your time at UEA, and up to three years after you graduate, you can also access support and advice from the UEA Careers Service.
Campus Facilities & Accommodation
On Campus, there is a whole range of facilities and amenities, including the shops and food outlets, the UEA Library, the Sainsbury Centre, and the UEA Sportspark. For your first year at UEA, we are generally able to offer university accommodation to those who want it, either on campus or across the road in The UEA Village. The UEA accommodation puts you at the heart of student life on campus, and the typical arrangement of rooms around a shared kitchen/dining area is great for making friends. For further details, see accommodation for prospective students.
Student Clubs & Societies
The Student Union, UEA-SU, has a wide variety of clubs and societies that you can join to make friends and meet like-minded people, and play sports in a friendly or competitive way. Whatever your interests, we’re sure you’ll find at least one club or society that’s of interest. And if not, you can always start your own! For more details see the UEA-SU pages on it sports clubs and student societies.
