UEA International Student Ambassadors

Most people I've spoken to about this have said one of the main drivers for why they came to university was to increase their level of employability later in life. A few of my close friends would rather have taken a gap year to experience different cultures and returned home to a decent job, but unfortunately many of us nowadays don't believe this is possible so we continue with our education almost like there is no other option. Although I do personally believe that it is becoming gradually harder to find employability without the completion of higher education, I do think there are things many of us want to do but don't think we can that actually build on our employability. UEA's on-campus career central offers an extensive amount of help to current students and continue three years following graduation. The career central offers many events and how to... sessions throughout the year to everyone but the help the provide for those in their final year might be key

Staying healthy is extremely important as a student and as much as you might feel it's impossible to keep up with health when you have 1001 essays to write, IT MUST BE DONE! Here are five things to do to keep up the health for very low prices:  1) SKIPPING: Skipping for at least 20 minutes per day will do wonders for your body. You don't have to do it all at once. 10 minutes, twice a day will burn more than 200 calories and that's 1000 calories a week. Talk about being on your way to a sharp, slim trim! 2) SMOOTHIES: No one needs to tell me how hard getting those fives a day are. The best way to curb that problem is with smoothies. You can make them yourself. A perfect ratio of vegetable: fruit: liquid will have you set for the day and if you have it multiple times a day, even better.                                                                                           3) SLEEP: Yes, impossible, I know. If coursework isn't a

  Have a guess about the number of species having their habitat at UEA! A wild guess, maybe. 100? 200? Maybe 1000? Incorrect! UEA is home to more than 5000 species! Yes! The grassland is rich enough to host many flora which in turn entice many fauna to come and sustain themselves. Have a look on these naughty bunnies playing together.  And here you can have a delight in seeing an awesome otter on the trail. The wildlife trail is divided into four trails to suit different habitats and is looked after by the students and staff of UEA. Below a young otter dives silently into the water, surfacing seconds later to glide to the reedbed with a fish clamped between its jaws. Wait! poor otter isn't the only one to blame. This little birdie is also having a delicious delight. And dogs have the privilege of enjoying in the meadows as well as in the woodland. So take your dogs for a little science stroll at UEA which is heaven for them. How? Well, university allows dogs to

A NEW SOCIETY JUST LANDED AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S ABOUT TIME! I remember thinking to myself last year. I was like wow, there isn't really a platform for black girls to come together and discuss the societal issues we have (and there are a lot) and how to rise above them. It doesn't even have to be that serious. How about just a place to come together and talk about...I don't know...hair.                                                                                                                          WELL NOW WE HAVE IT! The society launched a couple of weeks ago and let me tell you, it's been great. The first event was a natural hair discussion and there was so much to discuss: the stigma against natural hair, the lack of information on how to take care of natural hair and just society in general not providing for natural hair. For example, how are us kinky haired gals supposed to wear those graduation caps this summer? The following event

Hi everyone! I am a football lover but lately, my team in Brazil, Flamengo, is not doing bad but it didn't win the main national title since 2009. Because of it, I had stopped watching football. Now that I am living in the land of football - England is considered the country where football was invented - I started to become more interested in that matter. Another reason is that people here are big supporters of the city's team - The Canariens. The funny fact is that Brazil's national team is also known as Canariens, actually, we call them as little Canaries, because Brazilians love to add little to every word in order to make it sound cuter haha Last Saturday, I went to the city center for meeting a friend and I saw this wave of people wearing yellow and green clothes walking toward the stadium. I love a big crowd so now I am supporting the Norwich team and hoping they come back to the Premier League. Go Canariens!
