TESTIMONIALS STUDENT ‘The UEA Award has given me a new perspective on my career path. It has made me think more critically about decisions regarding my career and has also allowed me to reflect on what I have accomplished. It is great to be able to visually see what you have achieved, this is seen with the badges you attain and the attribute chart that you make as you progress through the award.’ - Jacob Hewes, 3rd Year, School of Biology ‘I have been able to go and gain experience and skills in different areas from completing the Digital Voyager course to volunteering at a history festival. Through the guidelines set out in the UEA Award my CV is now more well rounded in the experience I have gained.’ - Rose Elphick, 3rd Year, School of History
