Part of the event comprised of the Potluck lunch, where every Ambassador was asked to bring a dish from their country. As a Pakistani, I thought it to be the best to bring Chicken Biryani, so that the International Office and the Ambassadors can have a taste of some authentic Pakistani cooking.

Hi All! So this week has started on a good note, guess what?? UEA  has reached its highest ever university league table ranking by claiming a vibrant 15th place which makes it the best university in the region/Norfolk. It seems we are not stopping our run of brilliance shown by being the university with the best student satisfaction in the UK and now progressing five places up the ladder in overal rankings by The Guardian. All this just shows how well we have been performing in all areas . This obviously means the students have great graduate prospects and an astounding student experience. It surely makes me proud to say I am a student at UEA because of its ever growing reputation. Well as you all know, its exam season so I will go back to my revion now.
