Support for employability skills and careers

Four out of five UEA graduates are in professional work or further study according to the latest Graduate Outcomes Survey, and University Compare place us in the UK Top 25 best universities for employability in 2026. Our courses are built with careers in mind, which is why so many of our degrees feature placements, a year in industry or even the opportunity to pick up invaluable skills by studying abroad.

Our CareerCentral services include a dedicated careers portal, careers advice and guidance, CV writing and interview skills, work experience opportunities, networking events and direct links to businesses. There are also numerous volunteering opportunities including supporting charities, working with environmental projects, mentoring young people, or contributing to on-campus broadcasting, theatre, or journalism.

At UEA, students will have access to a wide range of potential employers, locally, nationally and globally. The UEA Internship Programme helps increase workplace confidence and will challenge students to apply their skills to exciting and innovative live projects in a range of sectors. This is also a great opportunity to secure paid part-time opportunities while studying, as well as part-time and full-time opportunities during the holiday periods.

Studying abroad is an unforgettable experience that can give students the edge over other graduates. Students can develop the skills that employers are searching for while living and studying in another country, learning about a different culture and becoming truly independent. Studying at one of UEA’s 200 partner universities across the globe, students can choose from a wide variety of academic topics and open up a world of new perspectives and opportunities.

Our Enterprise Centre gives students the chance to meet like-minded peers, collaborate and innovate with them, and bring their business ideas to life. Students can take advantage of one-to-one business coaching, mentoring, skills workshops, grants, funding and competitions – all aimed at helping them become a fully-fledged entrepreneur.

Student welfare

We want to make sure that students are completely supported during their time with us, whether they need help meeting a particular goal, support in a crisis or just help filling out a form. Our Student Support Service can help with personal problems, disability support, mental health issues, financial worries, specific learning difficulties and support for international students. Students will also have access to a campus-based medical centre and dental practice.

All students are assigned a personal adviser to help them get the most from their studies at UEA. Together with the student, they’ll monitor progress, go through feedback and plan the path to graduation and beyond.
