The University of East Anglia (UEA) - a United Kingdom Top 30 university - is offering international students a real chance to be at the forefront of world-changing scientific research at its 360-acre campus in Norwich.
With some of the world's biggest issues ready to be solved by the next generation of microbiologists, geneticists, and biomedical researchers, INTO UEA – UEA's on-campus international education partner – is offering a foundation programme in Pharmacy, Health and Life Sciences.
UEA is advantageously located on one of Europe's largest single-site research collectives - Norwich Research Park (NRP). This proximity to NRP means students at INTO UEA and UEA benefit from world-class STEMM learning facilities and can draw on expertise and placement opportunities from four renowned research institutes, a major teaching hospital and over 150 science businesses, which are home to over 30,000 staff, including 3,000 scientists and clinicians working on challenges in food, health and the environment that will change lives around the globe.
Dawn Wilkinson, Programme Manager at INTO UEA, says: "Studying a STEMM subject at INTO UEA means being at the heart of bioscience research, discovery and real-world innovation. Our students become part of UEA's thriving STEMM community from the moment they start studying with us. UEA is an integral member of Norwich Research Park, one of Europe's largest single-sites of bioscience researchers working together to solve real-world problems in health, food and the environment, such as how to feed our growing human population. Life science students benefit from top-class teaching, facilities and opportunities to get involved."
Winnie from Hong Kong did her foundation programme in Pharmacy, Health and Life Sciences at INTO UEA. She went on to study her undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD qualifications in Pharmacy at UEA.
"INTO UEA ran regular drop-in sessions where I could ask questions and receive constructive feedback on my coursework, it also offered lots of opportunities for practical laboratory experience, which really helped to develop my interest in research. The innovative teaching methods e.g., problem-based learning encouraged independent study and helped me and my fellow students to develop our communication skills."
