Support from UEA
Information and resources on a range of areas to support with your wellbeing, health, safety plus supporting your learning while at UEA.

• Wellbeing
• Disability support
• Student life

We know that university life is made up of much more than just your academic studies. At UEA, you’ll have access to a wide range of support through Student Services, where students can discuss any concerns in a confidential, professional and non-judgemental environment.

Our experienced advisers can provide support on wellbeing, finance, study support, disability and long-term health conditions, living on and off-campus and more.

Student Services at UEA are split into three teams focused on:

• Wellbeing
• Student Life
• Learning Enhancement

All teams work closely together to provide professional, proactive and approachable services for students to help you make the most of your time at UEA.

Both INTO UEA and the University of East Anglia will provide you with a range of world-class support. We believe that it's the people that make the difference. That's why your Student Services team is the best there is. When you arrive at the INTO Centre, the Student Services team will help you settle into student life in Norwich and they'll remain your first point of contact for a range of non-academic issues.

What will happen when I arrive at INTO UEA?
From the moment you arrive, we'll be there to support you. If you'd like us to meet you at the airport, we can be there. If you need to register with the police, you don't need to worry about finding the police station – we'll bring a police offer to the INTO Centre for you to meet and register with.

How will the INTO Centre support me academically?
Our teachers understand your needs and are dedicated to your success. At the beginning of your course, you’ll be told who your Personal Tutor is. You’ll meet with them in your first week.

You can approach your Personal Tutor for help with any academic questions or personal issues at any time throughout your studies. They’ll help you settle into life in Norwich, monitor your academic progress, and can refer you to additional academic and welfare support if needed.

During your first week, you'll take part in an orientation programme. We'll show you around the campus, introduce you to key members of staff in the Centre, get you settled into your accommodation and help you to meet other INTO students in social events throughout the week.

How will the INTO Centre support me with learning English?
Language advisers are available in the Centre to help students with a low level of English to communicate. A Chinese Language Support Officer is also on-hand to provide dedicated language support to Chinese students. Other language support services include:

• Extra support classes
• Weekly helpdesk session where you can ask questions and get academic support following lectures and seminars
• Online support (for Academic English)
• Revision sessions

How will the INTO Centre support me with student life?
In the courtyard, you’ll find the Courtyard Office. Here, Social and Welfare Officers are there to support you with any non-academic problems. You can visit them to get help with renewing your visa, to book travel tickets back home or across the UK, or to ask them for advice on social situations. Whatever your issue, they are committed to supporting you – even if you lock youself out of your room!

Once you’ve finished studying, there’s a games console in the reception area that’s free for you to play with your friends. If gaming isn’t your thing, the Centre runs regular movie nights, craft nights and seasonal events (such as pumpkin carving at Halloween and dumpling making for Chinese New Year) to keep you entertained after studies. Around exam time, they schedule in bite-size support sessions that focus on managing anxiety, mindfulness and planning.

Need extra help settling into university life?
The University of East Anglia's Students' Union has a special 'buddy(su)' programme which is designed to help you settle into the campus life easier. If you apply for the scheme in your first year, you will be matched up with a buddy who has similar interests as you. They will:

• Support you in making the most of your time here
• Be there to answer any questions you may have
• Introduce you at social events and group study sessions
• Help you get to know other students at UEA. For More Information Click Here.
