The UEA Award is a great way of getting recognition for your participation in the UEA Languages Programme and lots of other activities.
It helps you to keep a log of all of your achievements, link them to key skills and attributes sought after by employers, and articulate them effectively in recruitment situations.
Taking part in the UEA Languages Programme enables you to develop the following UEA Award attributes:
Communication: Learning a foreign language and building confidence to converse with others
Citizenship and Stewardship: Learning about other cultures and working with people from a variety of backgrounds
Self-management and Professionalism: Juggling your priorities and being proactive with your personal development

‘Graduates who are unable to demonstrate life skills in today’s workplace environment are at a distinct disadvantage securing the best jobs and even their chosen career. This is a fabulous scheme and one worthy of recognition equipping graduates with the ability to demonstrate a broader view of life and of the need for additional skills would make them not only more employable but also more rounded individuals.’ - UEA Award Employer Consultation
‘I particularly wanted to get behind the UEA Award because it gives Enterprise the chance to help support students from a wide range of different backgrounds. We’ve worked with other universities on similar initiatives in the past and seen the benefits first-hand – both in terms of helping students realise their full potential and in preparing them for applications and interviews with graduate recruiters like ourselves.’ - Enterprise Rent-a-Car
