Graduate Linkage Program
University of East Anglia, Norwich, England

The University of East Anglia, located on the outskirts of the medieval city of Norwich, England, is a well-established institution with an international reputation for excellence. The University offers a wide range of MA programs in the Humanities from their School of English and American Studies, School of Development Studies, School of Music, and School of World Art Studies and Museology, among others. A graduate education at East Anglia allows for intensive study within the British university system and provides access to the resources of some of the world’s most respected intellectual centers.

Admission to the MA programs at the University of East Anglia will be guaranteed to any Dickinson College graduate who meets the following criteria:

1. An overall Grade Point Average of 3.00 or higher.

2. Favorable references.

3. Submission of degree-specific admissions requirements (e.g. a writing sample for the Creative Writing program).

4. Approval of application by Dickinson faculty committee

 

Interested students should request an application either directly from UEA or download the appropriate materials from the University of East Anglia web site at http://www.uea.ac.uk/.

Your statement of intent and/or writing sample, as well as your overall application, will be reviewed by a faculty committee. If your application is approved, it will be forwarded to UEA by December 1 for the following fall admission. If your application is not approved, you may be asked to revise your statement of intent, which is reviewed for:

• Seriousness of purpose
• Reasons for interest in UEA
• Academic preparation for your program of intent

The letters of reference that accompany your application are also important, and should be written by those who can best attest to your academic ability. Faculty are likely to do this best; however, if you did research, an internship or worked in a capacity involving a scholarly endeavor, your supervisor might also write a letter of reference.

Applications should be submitted to Heather Champion in the Career Center no later than November 1 of the year prior to which you intend to matriculate.
