University of East Anglia: Study Abroad in England

University of East Anglia (UEA) is one of the leading universities in England, ranked near the top in a variety of academic disciplines.  UEA has a bilateral exchange with Roanoke--students enroll there as full time international students and take classes with UK and other students. UEA courses in English, history, drama and film are taken in the School of English and American Studies.  Departments open to Roanoke College students include biology, psychology, sociology and many others. Students may select semester or academic year options through this program. UEA has a modern campus in Norwich, a historic city located two hours from London. The Sainsbury art collection is a world-renowned museum of modern art on the campus.
