Students who are a refugee, or seeking asylum in the UK (United Kingdom)
Students with a long-term health condition, a disability of any kind, experience of mental health concerns, or a specific learning difference such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, or AD(H)D

Activities we can offer

Support with university application

We can chat with your students about UCAS applications, personal statements, applying for student finance, or anything else about the journey to Higher Education.

Informal video chats

Students can book a short, informal video call with our friendly time at a time that suits them. A chance to ask any and all questions about Higher Education.

Booking form, this way >

Online chat on Unibuddy

If you’re students don’t feel like a video chat, they can also ask us questions directly on Unibuddy. There are loads of current UEA students on the platform they can chat with too. Again, they are welcome to ask any and all questions about higher education.

UEA campus visits

We welcome as many groups and individuals as possible to experience our wonderful campus and meet current students. To organise a visit for your students, feel free to contact the team.

Don’t forget that we can even sort your travel arrangements and costs – read more about our travel fund.

Student shadowing

Suitable for: students aged 16+

We can arrange an individual visit to campus, organised just for your students’ needs and interests. This is a great opportunity to meet a current student, take a guided tour of campus, and chat about any questions or concerns about university. Students may bring a friend, family member or guardian, or a support worker.

Group visits

If you are part of a support group or youth group and would like to visit UEA during term time or the school holidays, please contact the team to arrange an on-campus experience.
