6. Student Experience
Overall, I really enjoyed this programme and found it extremely relevant and helpful to what was being taught at UEA.
I would do it over and over again.
The programme was a good pace and helped with settling in.
It’s a challenging but fun experience.
The group discussions on various topics were great – I got to share my viewpoints and see things from different perspectives.
I got a great opportunity to study psychology in this programme. The teachers are all supportive and bring us lots of fun and information during classes.
