Course load
The normal workload for students attending UEA is:
- 60 credits (UCU) for one semester
- 120 credits (UCU) for the full academic year.
Units at UEA are worth various amounts, so the actual number of classes you take will depend on the credit weighting for the unit. Normally students should take around 3-4 classes per semester.
Transcripts
You will not need to request a transcript at the end of your study at UEA. A transcript will automatically be sent to your home institution. If you need an additional transcript to be sent to your home address, your School of Study will need a forwarding/home address, as the transcript/marks statement is produced by the School of Study.
All international students are invited to an Orientation Programme that is held before semester begins.
The aim of the programme is to give new students a range of information about the university and to provide an opportunity to clarify any matters of concern to them. The programme will include some social activities and a reception to welcome new international students.
