Hey there! I'm a second-year computer science student from Tanzania. When I'm not buried in code, you can find me on the football field, shooting hoops on the basketball court, or battling it out in online battle royale games—I'm a bit of a gaming enthusiast. I've also got a thing for cars, their mechanics and design fascinate me. What really excites me, though, is the idea of merging my interests with artificial intelligence. The thought of blending manual processes with AI tech gets me fired up. So, fellow future students, remember that your passions can lead you to exciting places, and I can't wait to explore this journey with you!

Literature and Creative Writing
I'm from Hyderabad, which is a metropolitan city in the south of India. Hyderabad has an incredibly rich and diverse literary history, and growing up there meant that I was inevitably drawn into art and literature. Writing has always been my passion- I can't remember a time when I didn't make up stories in my head! I love literature that's accessible yet elegant, simple stories done beautifully with care. I've spent the last three years at UEA on the English Literature with Creative Writing course, and fallen in love with both Norwich and UEA. There's a real camaraderie to be found among students and staff here, and despite being thousands of miles from India I've begun to feel at home here in Norwich. UEA is full of brilliant, passionate people who support each other and aim to effect real change in the world- being here has not only exposed me to different cultures and experiences, but also helped to improve my craft and expand my perspective of the world. UEA's an amazing place for students and writers to be, and I look forward to speaking to you about both Norwich and the University!

MDiet (Hons) Dietetics
After spending 12 years as a military musician, I made the decision to change careers and study dietetics! I am about to start my 2nd year as a mature student. I'm originally from Southampton but work brought me to Plymouth before starting Uni, so I know the area well. Please feel free to ask me any questions about the course, uni life, being a mature student or the local area - I'm happy to help!

Physical Education, Sports Development and Physical Activity and Health
Hey! I went to uni after completing my GCSEs and A-Levels and with the smallest clue of what I wanted to do for a career. Now, in my final year I can say it was the best decision for me, gifting me the chance to grow into an adult with adult responsibilities amongst others in the same situation and has aligned and inspired my interests for the future. Through my course I’ve become keen to pursue personal training and work in the fitness industry! Uni has so far been the most fun experience and by throwing myself into everything on offer like socials; sports; societies I would say I’ve had a quite well-rounded experience of university.

English and Journalism - BA (Hons)
Hi,
I am a second year student who have experienced taking a gap year after completing A-levels in sixth form.
I then took a local college course as I wanted to go into a degree programme where my A-levels wouldn't apply (STEM A-levels wouldn't do for an English and Journalism degree ) and decided the college course would work out cheaper than a foundation course at uni. So that took 2 years. If you are a mature student and worried about adjusting, I can reassure you that the first year is all about making sure everyone is on the same page.
I am also here if you have any issues with roommates as I had to relocate so understand how it can affect your well-being. I can also relate if you come from a bigger city and find it an adjustment to get used to being a student in a smaller space that lacks the usual diversity from big places.
Otherwise, I like reading, running, and sewing but feel free to reach out for a chat about nothing and everything under the sun :)
