University of East Anglia (UEA)

Royce Jonathan Salim

I am Royce Jonathan Salim, an Undergraduate student who studied Business Finance & Economics in UEA. I have always been interested about Finance and Economics as they allow me to understand the impacts of government's policy and financial market trading in everyday life. The first reason I chose to study in the UEA Economic School is because it is ranked 4th out of all English mainstream university Economics departments for overall satisfaction in 2013 National Student Survey. The second reason is the wide-range optional modules accessible for me. So in my final year, I was be able to choose from foreign language to various specific modules, such as supply chain management and option pricing and financial risk management.

Apart from the academic excellence, UEA has a magnificent campus area and a very sociable student atmosphere, which is why it is the first in the UK in terms of student experience. My favourite spot would be the vast park and lake area surrounding the university. It is a good idea to go around the campus for refreshing after frustrated of studying. Joining societies to be able to make a lot of friends is also essential. Last year, I joined four societies, including Indonesian society, which I enjoyed so much. This year, I joined even more! The exciting thing about joining a society is that you make a lot of locals and international friends, which enables you to learn about other cultures and other countries!

Even though I lived on campus, which I found to be so convenient, I still travelled to Norwich to do some shopping and sight seeing. I never found going to the city troublesome because the public transport system is so convenient in a way that I always enjoyed my visit there. Norwich is indeed a small beautiful city in which historical places, like Norwich Castle and Cathedral lie on. But it is also not a bad idea bring your friends to town for movies, bowling and even football match!

Last but not least, the student support here was so beneficial and helpful. I have found many great supports from UEA during my study, especially the Hub. There was always a variety of support available if you seek for them in UEA. In addition, I was assigned one advisor to turn to if I have any issues in my study so that they can be solved.

In brief, I was grateful that I chose UEA for my one in a lifetime opportunity and I really enjoyed it!
