The teachers at INTO are really supportive, as they guide us through any problem that we bring forward. We also have our personal tutors who direct us in how we should study and how we should plan our study hours. The teachers are more like friends here and they understand our difficulties. They try to make studying simple, easy and fun, which I like the most. The subjects are akin to the ones we take at university, which makes it easy for us to continue when we progress to our undergraduate studies. We are taught and trained to meet the University standards. In addition we are taught in the most friendly and interactive way possible so that everyone is given equal attention.

I loved my INTO teachers! They were really, really nice and they helped immensely. There were only six or seven of us in each class, so the teachers knew us all really well. They were helpful, they explained well and they’re really well qualified. If you don’t understand anything, they can explain things to you really clearly. I received a lot of support from INTO. Medical students have to do the UKCAT exam – INTO helped me to apply for the exam and to prepare for it, and they even took me to the test centre.

In my class most of the students are aiming to study medical subjects at university so it is an advantage to study with my peers who share my interest. There is a topic called Medical Ethics in my course, which is very important for those who would like to get involved in a medical career. There are also many experiments in the labs and everyone has a chance to conduct research.

45 Our academic’s experience Dr Bethan Gulliver Newton A-level Programme Manager INTO University of East Anglia

While with us the Newton Students learn the skills they will need to be successful at university and in their chosen careers. The Newton Programme is about much more than the subjects the students are learning. We provide first class subject teaching but also develop the students as independent learners and thinkers. The Newton Students are taught how to learn, how to communicate effectively and how to work with each other and their teachers. Students are supported in developing the other skills they will need for a successful application to university and we help them manage their time effectively. Our students develop the self-knowledge and self- confidence they need to achieve success with us and in the future.

Studying at INTO UEA really helped. Before the Graduate Diploma my English level wasn’t good enough to do a Master’s degree and so it helped me improve my English skills. Secondly, the academic modules were very good preparation for university-level study in economics and business. I had never written an essay and I had no idea how to write an introduction, main body or conclusion, so it really helped me to learn those skills.

I came here to study, because I think that if you study English in the area where they speak this language, it is better than at home. Because at home, if you study, you never speak with native speakers. I can study for one hour at home, but outside, I will speak in my native language, and I will not develop my English language skills. It is important for me to study English here.

The Pre-sessional course at INTO UEA developed not only my reading skills, but also my writing skills and how to do presentations in seminars. I also didn’t know about plagiarism before and so the lessons we had about it were very helpful for my degree.

“University education will teach you many skills vital to working in the global environment, including collaboration, research, critical thinking and organisation of an argument. The Pre-sessional English course will help you prepare to learn these skills, acting as a bridge between your previous and future studies. The Pre-sessional course integrates content such as law or business topics and tasks into the development of English skills. In this sense, Pre-sessional English is a crucial part of effective preparation for university study.” Tony Prince Pre-sessional English Programme Manager INTO University of East Anglia

The learning environment here is really friendly. You can raise your hand and ask questions in class. Here, teachers encourage you to ask if you don’t understand something. One of my teachers told me that the more students ask the more teachers can help them. That’s one of the things that distinguishes my studies in INTO from many other places before – I’m now more active to gain knowledge, which is quite a big change.
