University of East Anglia

Geschichte

The University of East Anglia (UEA) admitted its first 87 undergraduate students in 1963 and it now attracts over 15,000 students from over 100 countries onto its choice of more than 300 courses of study. The choice of ‘Do Different’ as the University’s original motto was a deliberate signal that it was going to look at new ways of providing university education. At its heart was the principle of interdisciplinarity where related subjects are studied in combination with each other. This new way of studying made the University the natural home of new disciplines such as Environmental Science and Development Studies in which it rapidly became a world leader. It also developed the UK's first course in Creative Writing. More recently it has led to dynamic groupings of Medicine and Health schools that led to the University being selected to introduce one of the first new medical schools in the UK for more than 40 years. With 24 Schools of Study across Faculties of Science, Social Sciences, Medicine and Health, and Arts and Humanities the University offers the opportunity of a strong and well-rounded academic experience.
