Choosing the right university for your undergraduate degree

When you’re choosing a university, there are a few ways to help shortlist your options and lots of things to consider. Here are our top 5 questions to ask yourself.

1. What course is best for me?

What are you interested in studying? Do you want to pursue a passion or try something new? Check things like the modules, entry requirements and assessment methods to find the best one for you.

Once you have a good idea of the type of course you’re looking for, you need to think about where you want to live. University is about so much more than seminars and studying; at UEA you're part of a community.

2. Where will I live at university? 

Campus vs city

Do you want a campus university, with everything you need in walking distance? Or are you looking for a city university? UEA has a bit of both - it's a campus university just 2 miles away from the city centre.

Lifestyle

What would suit your lifestyle best? Are student life and entertainment important? Would you prefer to live at home and commute, or to move away from home?
