Welcome
The Schools of Study at UEA teach thousands of undergraduate and postgraduate students each year across the four faculties of our campus in Norwich.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Art, Media and American Studies.
If you haven’t already, check out our School pages on the UEA website.
In the meantime, don’t forget to Register Online to get access to your timetable once it becomes available, and log in to Blackboard our virtual learning environment.
Once you have registered online you will also need to attend a registration event (unless you are an undergraduate home student living in UEA accommodation, since you are registered automatically when you pick up your room keys)

Welcome to the School of Art, Media and American Studies.
I know how hard you have worked to get to UEA, and I hope you are as excited about starting your academic career at this University as we are about meeting and working with you.
We bring together world leading expertise in visual arts, in film, television and media studies, and in the culture, literature, and history of the United States of America. Our student community has a wealth of interests that encompass these subject areas and cross intellectual boundaries.
You’ll enjoy a vibrant student experience whether you’re in the heart of the University campus, or using the unique facilities of our Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts – the international art museum on your doorstep – or venturing overseas for a semester or year studying at one of our partner Universities.
I hope that you will find a School that is friendly and supportive as well as one that provides an intellectually stimulating learning environment, and ultimately provides you with a platform for your future career.
Dr Malcolm McLaughlin
Head of School
