Progression to the University of

East Anglia

If you successfully complete the International

Foundation programme and meet the

specified course requirements you are

guaranteed progression onto your chosen

undergraduate degree programme at the

University of East Anglia. You will also be

eligible to apply for entry to the BSc (Hons)

International Business Management degree

offered exclusively at UEA London, and can

apply for entry to other universities in the UK.

Excellent choice of undergraduate

degree subjects

The University of East Angl ia teaches

more than 300 courses of study, including

popular undergraduate degrees such as

Accounting and Finance, Actuarial Sciences,

Biological Sciences, Biomedicine, Business

Management, Chemistry, Computing,

Economics, Energy Engineering,

Environmental Sciences, Film and TV

Studies, International Development, Law,

Media, Pharmacy and Psychology.

Studying at INTO UEA has taught me a lot about the

differences between the UK education system and teaching

in my home country. When you do a practical class here the

teacher may not tell you what will happen you need to

monitor the experiment to learn what will happen in the next

stage. When I was in China, my teacher told me what will

happen in the experiment and then I had to make sure that it

did happen. Here, my professors told me that its not

necessary that the right thing happens if your experiment

has some errors then you can try to explain them, which is

good experience for a scientist.

I learned a lot of valuable skills and developed my essay writing when

I was in INTO. I was attracted to this programme at UEA because of

the year in industry, especially because I know that the University has

close links with good companies. When you graduate, you need

some work experience before you can be an actuary, so I think if you

have done a year in industry then its quite a good advantage for you.

One of the most important skills that our A-level students

develop is independent learning. We dont spoon feed our

Newton Programme students. We expect them to learn the

skills of learning. Hopefully they will have learned how to

communicate with each other and with others and they will

have grown in confidence. I think thats something that we

give over and above what even the best schools can offer.

Also, they will understand how to have a good working

relationship with teaching staff. Because of the maturity and

the age range of the students that we get, that relationship

will be a much closer one.
