the whole point of the self certifying form is that you don't need to supply evidence


Ah ok so I just fill out most of it apart from sections 4,6,7 & 8?

You need to do everything apart from the bit where it asks what evidence you are submitting in support of your application.

Thank you for your help! :smile:
Hey! I have received my conditional offer from UEA and am planning on accepting it as my firm. I've done some research on the surrounding area and would like to know how close the beaches are and if so, are there any water sport activities?

Thanks,
Sue

Great Yarmouth is 30 mins on the train, Cromer I'm not sure- not too far in a car but you couldn't bring a car with you in first year anyway. As for water sports there are loads of clubs offering water sports- Kitesurfing, Sailing and Powerboating, Sub Aqua, Surf, Swimming, Waterpolo, Windsurf, Waterski and Wakeboarding
That's so cool! Thanks! I'm so looking forward to join in 2015, can't wait!

Cromer is about 50 minutes on the train, and then Sheringham is about an extra 15minutes along. You can also get a Bittern ranger ticket (for Sheringham & Cromer) which will allow you free unlimited usage of the coasthopper (and bittern line trains) for a day to allow you to get to places like Holkham, Wells, Holme etc. (Which are 10 times better if you're purely after a beach compared to the 3 which are traditional seaside resorts). There's also lots of buses from Norwich to the beaches on the east coast like Horsey (great to see the seal pups in winter), Sea Palling etc.

GY is great if you're after the amusements, but Cromer and Sheringham are so much nicer and...less run down in general :tongue: Also if you want to hire out on a boat for a day (a lot cheaper than you expect) on the Broads you can get a train/bus to Wroxham.

I may have traveled along the Norfolk coast a lot last year :tongue:

Very helpful, cheers! I'll definitely keep in mind of the day ticket. How much is it normally? and what do you think of the student environment and whether there are any opportunities' to hike and do some camping?

haha, I know I have so many questions, sorry! :smile: a bit too excited
Would you say that there is a good mix of academics and social life at UEA because I've heard the union and social life is great but is it still a good focused working environment? The most important thing for me is really the course
Thanks

I would agree with what you've heard. There is a good social life but also the study side is good, and you are able to focus more on one if you wish. What subject are you planning on studying? Someone may be able to give more info about that course on here.

Thanks for your reply, I'll be studying occupational therapy so I won't be quite as into the student life on placement and I'm not a big drinker though I do like to go out!

There definitley is still a good working environment- you can shut yourself in the library and not pay any attention to the world outside if you wanted!

Hi. I have an offer from uea but I'm not sure if to accept it yet and hoped someone here could help me. Does anyone know anything about the law department? Also , does the union building have any kind of communal area ? Like in Leicester there's a main bit everyone can go and chill with a starbooks , that kind of thing. Or do you have to socialise just in your flat ? Thanks.

Hey! I was wondering if the foundation courses have reading weeks, and if so, does anyone know roughly when they would be? I've made 'humanities with a foundation year' my firm choice, with a view to do History of Art. had to take a third year due to health issues, so UEA was the ideal solution! Really excited about September :smile: x
