Welcome to the School
of American Studies
We are one of the top universities in the UK for American
studies, providing an understanding of the United States
through a study of its culture, literature, history and politics.
Our goal is to create independent thinkers who take pleasure
in learning about their subjects and who graduate fully
prepared for their future careers. Our members of staff are all
actively engaged in research and are at the forefront of new
developments within the discipline, meaning that our teaching
is always up to the minute.
You will consider the ways in which Americans have
constructed and defined their own identities – through race,
class, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. You will touch on crucial
themes in US culture, such as civil rights and the idea of
freedom, migrant and immigrant experiences, power, authority,
conformism and rebellion, and American foreign relations.
You will have the opportunity to study early American literature
and contemporary fiction, and examine American literature in
global and transnational contexts, such as the Pacific, Latin
America, and the Caribbean. You will encounter the work of
a wide variety of authors, such as Mark Twain, Toni Morrison,
Philip Roth, and Leslie Marmon Silko. You will explore American
culture from the time before Columbus to the present, taking
in the experiences of the first peoples and the first European
settlers, the lives of enslaved men and women, and the
dramatic events of the “American century”, from the days of Jim
Crow segregation, through the Cold War, to 9/11 and beyond.
02
Why Study American Studies with Us?
The School of American Studies is recognised as one of the best American studies departments
in the UK. As a vibrant and dynamic School we are ranked joint first for student satisfaction in the
National Student Survey 2012 and second in the UK according to the Guardian University Guide
league table 2013.
Best American Studies Department
for Student Satisfaction
Internationally Renowned
Literary Festival
Each year our final year students participate
in the National Student Survey (NSS) to
feedback on their academic experience.
The School consistently excels in this and in
the most recent survey we were rated joint
first for overall satisfaction.
Each year, we bring major writers from the
USA and around the world to our International
Literary Festival, open to the public and,
of course, our students, too. Visitors have
included Norman Mailer, Toni Morrison,
Elmore Leonard, Gore Vidal, Richard Ford,
Jonathan Franzen and Margaret Atwood.
Excellent Reputation
As a vibrant and dynamic School, we are one
of the top American Studies departments in
the UK, according to the Guardian University
Guide league table 2013 and the most recent
national Research Assessment Exercise.
Unrivalled Year Abroad Programme
We have more exchange partners than any
other university in the UK, which means
that students on our four-year degree
programmes have got the largest choice of
where they would like to study on their year
abroad. Most recently we have added a new
exchange partnership with the University of
Hawaii. It is also possible to split your year
between universities in the USA and Canada
and – for students interested in taking in a
Pacific perspective on America – Australia,
New Zealand and, now, Hong Kong. See
page 04 for further information.
Student Choice
We offer a wide range of topics including
American culture, literature, history and
politics. This means that students can choose
from modules on topics as diverse as the
cultural history of American music, US political
history and foreign relations, the trans-Pacific
and trans-Atlantic worlds, African American
and Native American history and culture,
poetry, the classic novels of the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries, and much
more besides.
Our Teaching
The School prides itself on achieving the
highest standards in its provision of course
information, grading and feedback to
students on their work, and in generally
creating an environment where teaching is
the very best. Our teaching is monitored
internally by a comprehensive programme
of reporting by the students themselves,
and by an annual review of these reports.
We use a variety of innovative teaching
methods ranging from lectures, seminars and
tutorial groups to public “discussion cafés”,
internet blogging and filmic “visual essays”.
Each approach engages different styles of
learning to develop your skills throughout
your studies and to enable your active
participation in your own learning.
Our commitment to first-class teaching
means that you can be sure you will receive
the support you need as you develop the
skills that today’s employers desire.
The Arthur Miller Centre
Careers and Employability
Our degree courses teach students a range
of skills which they can apply to the world
of work. We challenge our students to
think critically and to approach situations
from different perspectives to develop their
cultural awareness and to enhance their
powers of evaluation and their written and
oral communication skills. With a specific
focus on employability, we offer students the
opportunity to gain experience of working
in the medium of film, for example, and
organising local exhibitions, or engaging with
the public in “discussion cafés”.
The interdisciplinary nature of the degree
offers a wide choice of career paths and our
graduates work in fields as diverse as acting,
travel and speech therapy. A large number
go on to gain postgraduate qualifications.
After academia, the most popular choices
are management training, journalism and the
media and teaching.
The Careers and Employability Team works
in partnership with academic Schools to plan
and deliver a comprehensive programme
covering career management, employer and
industry focused events and one-to-one
guidance. Building links with employers,
industry and start-up enterprises is central
to our work, enabling us to provide students
with a wealth of internship, voluntary,
mentoring, graduate and job opportunities.
We encourage enterprise, innovation and
aspiration throughout your time at UEA.
www.uea.ac.uk/careers
The Arthur Miller Centre for American Studies
is unique to the University of East Anglia.
The Centre is an initiative designed to further
interest in the study of the United States, to
promote major new research projects and
facilitate the movement of people between
Britain and America.
03
Study Abroad
From New England to California, Alaska to Louisiana, and not
forgetting Vancouver to Ontario, Sydney to Hong Kong, we have
more exchange partners than any other university in the UK.
If you select a four-year degree, your third
year is spent in the United States, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand or Hong Kong. We
also offer our students the option of splitting
the year to study in two different countries.
The year abroad allows students to approach
American literature, history, and creative
writing from the perspective of another
culture. In some institutions there are also
opportunities for students to undertake
internship placements in publishing, or with
newspaper companies and TV stations.
This great opportunity provides students
with an invaluable academic and cultural
experience, one often cited as a highlight
of the degree.
Our exchange programme, which has
been running for over 30 years, has
long-established links with outstanding
institutions. These range from small private
colleges, such as Middlebury in Vermont,
to large state universities, such as the
University of California. Most of our students
are allocated their first or second choice of
exchange institution (from a list of five).
A full list of institutions can be found at:
www.uea.ac.uk/study/study-abroad/
UEAabroad/infohum/hum/sainstitutions
While you are enjoying the USA, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand or Hong Kong, and
making the most of all the opportunities and
facilities of their universities, you are also
completing work for your degree at home.
Half of the course you take will centre on
American topics (for example, American
history, literature, sociology, religion, politics,
music, journalism, film and art) and the
remainder can be in any subjects that
you choose. All students research their
dissertation during their year abroad, which
is written on their return to us with the
support of a supervisor.
Year Abroad Scholarships and Fees
Scholarships of £1,000 each will be awarded
to the top 50 per cent of students at A level
(or equivalent qualification) who are studying
on a programme in the School of American
Studies that requires a year abroad. This will
be paid at the end of their second year of
study with the idea of assisting students with
travel and other related costs.
The advantage of our exchange programme
is that you do not pay tuition to your
exchange institution. These costs are
covered by the tuition fees you pay here,
and moreover, for the year you are overseas
you only pay a percentage of your standard
tuition fee (currently 15 per cent for Home/EU
students and 25 per cent for international
students)*. Accommodation costs must be
paid and vary in each institution.
*Please note that fees are subject to annual review.

A Student’s Experience
As an American studies student, Gareth spent one year in Santa Cruz studying at the
University of California. With a 10 minute bus journey between the campus and beach,
he spent as much time as he could learning to surf, as well as studying of course!

A levels

Maldon, Essex
What did you study and how different
was it to studying in the UK?
Did you undertake an internship
whilst you were there?
I studied American literature at the University
of California, Santa Cruz, although I also
found time for Pre-Revolutionary American
History, the History of Jazz and a course
dealing with the cultural impact of the
Beatles in America.
I worked for a newspaper which was based on
campus. The internship was very full on – I had
to submit at least one article per week, which
had to be fully sourced. Whilst rather stressful
at the time, in hindsight the experience taught
me time management skills, along with being
directly responsible for some of the more
entertaining trips I took.
The choice to take non-American studies
modules whilst abroad was a brilliant
opportunity. The teaching is structured very
differently to England – there are considerably
more classes each week, all of which had
weekly homework assignments. Whilst this
was daunting at first, essays were generally
shorter than those at UEA, so the workload
was the same in the long run.
Where did you live?
I lived on campus, and there were eight
of us in the apartment. On-campus
accommodation was guaranteed for all year
abroad students, although I had to apply
specially for my building, as it was themed
for aspiring writers.
How do you think your year abroad helped
with your development?
My dissertation was almost entirely influenced
by my year abroad, so it certainly helped my
academic development. From a personal
perspective, the experience has made me far
less dependent on others.
What were your best experiences
on your year abroad?
Becoming part of another culture, and being
invited to family occasions with one of my
housemates, learning to surf, and going on a
very cheap weekend of white water rafting will
always stick with me. Like many year abroad
students, I took the opportunity to travel as
much as I could, eventually taking a road trip
from California to New Orleans.
What advice would you give to
students who are about to embark
on their year abroad?
If you have room, pack some of your favourite
English comfort foods. This helps you adjust
to living on the other side of the world, and will
make you extremely popular with housemates
who’ve never eaten things like it before!

A Graduate’s Experience
Attracted to study by the excellent reputation of the School of American Studies and the
impressive array of study abroad institutions, Drew graduated from the BA American and
English Literature degree in 2006.

Graduated
BA American and

Currently
Visiting Scholar of
Ethnic Studies,
University of Colorado
Tell us about your career to date
After graduating from UEA, I completed
a Master’s in Print Journalism. However,
my real interest was in continuing my
investigations into American social inequality,
which I had started during my third year at
UEA when I was living in New Mexico.
During that year, I won an essay prize from
the British Association of American Studies
taken from my dissertation on attitudes
towards homelessness in Albuquerque, and
I received the BAAS Teaching Fellowship to
undertake a Master’s in American Studies at
the University of Wyoming. Here, I taught at
university level for the first time, and wrote
my first one act play.
In 2009 I entered the department of
Comparative Cultural Studies at the Ohio
State University in Columbus, where I have
advanced through my PhD coursework and
final candidacy exams. Whilst at OSU I have
been teaching my own classes in cultural
studies, critical thinking, race, social justice
and the humanities, which is something I
greatly enjoy. I have also spent my
summers back out in Wyoming, teaching
and advising in a high school programme
for low income students.
I am currently Visiting Scholar of Ethnic
Studies at the University of Colorado,
Boulder, where I am conducting ethnographic
field work for my doctoral dissertation
exploring attitudes towards homelessness
and mobility in the American west.
What was studying at UEA like?
It was a really exciting place to study. The
faculty are some of the leading researchers
and teachers in their fields, and brought
together a diverse range of scholars and
interests from around the world.
06
Seminars were challenging, and I enjoyed
the interdisciplinary nature of studying at
UEA which remains quite cutting edge –
students are able to experiment with classes
from outside of their focused degree which
makes for a far more fulfilling education.
There was always a great atmosphere, and
I had fantastic advisers who encouraged
me to attend conferences with them, join
professional organisations, and enter essay
competitions which have led to my trajectory
in academia today.
Why did you pick this course?
I had already spent a year living in the US as
an exchange student, and had developed
an interest in American cultural history and
knew UEA’s reputation as a leading institution
in this field. The opportunity to spend a
year abroad at a truly impressive array of
institutions was also very attractive.
What did you think about your lecturers,
teaching and the facilities?
We started with larger lectures, which was
a good way to build a common base and
academic community across the degree
programmes in the School. We then
splintered into much more specialised
interests and smaller discussion classes,
which was a rewarding way to learn. I had
some great teachers and a lot of the faculty
are very respected in their fields. I really
appreciated the academic freedom and
the chances I had to explore new interests
as I developed them, and after UEA I really
couldn’t imagine learning any other way.
How has your course helped you
in your career so far?
I’ve stayed in academia, which has led to
an array of teaching jobs that I believe the
material and teaching styles I was exposed
to at UEA prepared me very well for. I still
teach texts I was introduced to at UEA,
and enjoy strong professional connections
with the staff who taught me during my
undergraduate years.
BA American
Studies
For further information
“The interdisciplinary nature of the course was appealing as it
gave me an opportunity to study a wide range of subjects that
were not available on other courses so I don’t feel penned down
to studying just one subject. Obviously studying America in
greater detail and the chance to actually spend a year abroad in
America sealed the deal.”

American studies at UEA begins with
introductory year-long modules that provide
an introduction to the core texts of American
literature and the defining events in American
history: Imagining America, parts I and II,
and Containing Multitudes, parts I and II.
In addition you will take Reading Cultures,
which focuses on American Icons in the first
semester, and Ideas and Ideologies in the
second, to deepen your understanding of the
United States and, at the same time, to focus
on the critical and writing skills essential for
success at university.
Year 2

In your second year you are invited to
choose from a wide range of interdisciplinary
seminars which may include classes such
as: American Masculinities, Borderlands of
the American Southwest, American Music,
Looking at Pictures: Photography and
Visual Culture in the USA, American Material
Culture, which might approach subjects
such as the US environment, adolescence in
American culture, the Harlem Renaissance,
the punk movement or 1980s cinema.
We also offer literature options covering,
for example, nineteenth century, twentieth
century, and contemporary American or
Cuban American writing, comparative
American and Australian writing, or poetry,
the Beat movement, American writers in
Paris between the wars, and more. Our
history options span the breadth of the
American past, taking in the aftermath of
the Civil War, the dawn of the American
century, the history of New York City, the Civil
Rights Movement, US foreign policy, and
much else besides.
Year 3
Students on a four-year programme spend
their third year studying in America or
Canada – with the option of spending one of
those semesters in Australia, New Zealand,
or Hong Kong. For further information please
see page 04.
For those following the three-year
programme, the final year involves a
choice of advanced modules which could
include topics such as: American Violence,
The American Body, The New American
Century: Culture and Crisis – and many other
possibilities from the literature and culture of
the 1960s, of the Pacific, or of the nineteenth
century, for example, multi-ethnic writing or
Native American writing and film, or poetry
and the environment, and more. Should
you wish to emphasise history, you may
choose from options covering, for example,
the history of the CIA or of immigration and
migration, or choose to take a two-semester
documents-based “special subject” which
could include options such as American
slavery or the politics and culture of the
1960s, Native American history or, the
Cold War.
Year 4
In your final year, you will write a research
dissertation on a topic of your choice, inspired
by your year abroad, and under the guidance
of your UEA supervisor after your return. You
also choose from a selection of advanced
modules, such as those listed above.

the Old South, the struggles of black Civil
Rights activists to the crucial decisions of the
presidents – who, by the atomic age of the
Cold War, held the fate of humanity in their
hands. By the end of your degree, you will
know the American story in depth – but you
will also have a keen understanding of how
much of the modern world in which we live
today has been shaped by this young nation,
and how the history of the United States has
been intimately connected with that of the
rest of the globe.
choose from thematic American studies
modules on, for example, urban culture,
music, film, and so on.
You spend your third year studying at an
American or Canadian university, or, if you
choose, at an institution in Australia, New
Zealand, or Hong Kong.
In your final year, you write a research
dissertation on a topic of your choice,
guided by your UEA supervisor. You also
have a range of final-year classes to choose
from – these could include a year-long
documents-based ‘special subject’ – topics
in the past have included the Cold War,
slavery, Native American history, and the Civil
Rights Movement. You also have a choice of
advanced history modules taking an in-depth
look at major topics on – for example – the
Supreme Court or the CIA, or gender in
America. You can also choose from a range
of interdisciplinary modules on subjects such
as violence, the American city, land and
culture, popular music, or crisis and culture
in the 21st century.
Course Structure
In your first year you will study introductory
modules that take you through America’s
past to the present day and introduce you
to the major themes in US history – from
the meaning of ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’
and ‘democracy’ to the importance of, for
example, the flag or the idea of the frontier.
In addition, a year-long module, Reading
Cultures, gives you the critical and writing
skills essential for success on this course.
In the second year, you have a wide range
of more specialist options offering the
opportunity to look at, for example, the Cold
War and American foreign interventions,
the 1960s and the Vietnam War, Native
American history, slavery and the Civil Rights
Movement, and to consider the significance
of gender, race, or class in America’s past.
There is also a range of interdisciplinary
options, allowing you, should you wish, to
Year Abroad
Your third year is spent in the United States,
Canada or Australia. We currently have
exchanges with approximately 40 North
American universities including institutions
in California, Miami, Vancouver, Philadelphia,
Washington DC and New York State. You
will be asked to decide which one you
would most like to attend, though not all
students can be assigned to their first-choice
university. While in North America, you will
be required to write a dissertation on a topic
agreed with the year abroad coordinator,
besides taking courses alongside North
American students. As the year abroad is a
requirement of the course, those qualifying
will continue to be eligible for local education
authority support.

Originally from
Hinckley,
Leicestershire
How did you find living on campus
during your first year?
In my first year, I lived in Nelson Court,
and had a brilliant time. I lived with people
from all kinds of backgrounds, and found
the conversation and company infinitely
rewarding. The kitchens were spacious
and easy to clean and there was more than
enough storage space for all of our food.
I was quite lucky in that I lived very close to
everything: the LCR, the laundrette, and all
of my classes.
What is living in rented accommodation
like after your first year?
My second year at university was one of
the greatest years of my life. I moved into a
rented house in West Earlham with four of
my friends and the dynamics of our house
was inimitable. We each cooked one night a
week, made cleaning rotas to save any petty
arguments, and generally got on brilliantly.
When you first arrived at the University,
how easy did you find it and why?
What have you particularly liked
about life at the University?
What have you particularly enjoyed
about your course?
The on-site facilities like the post office,
laundrette, Student Union, LCR, book shop
and medical centre were so comprehensive
that sometimes I wouldn’t realise I hadn’t left
campus in weeks.
I always know that there is a member of staff
I can talk to if I have any issues (academic
or otherwise), and I have found almost all of
my lecturers inspiring, they have a genuine
passion for what they teach.
What was your main reason for
choosing this course?
12
The fact that it offered a year abroad was
a big attraction. I didn’t take a gap year
between school and university but wanted
to travel. UEA provided great support and
security, and offered so many exchange
institutions that it was difficult to pick
where to go!
Areas I didn’t think I would be interested in
completely turned around for me because
of the enthusiasm of certain professors.
I have also had the freedom to research and
write on areas that interest me that I feel a
more rigid course structure would not allow.
I honestly don’t think I could find a better
university for my academic area than UEA.
I met the friends I have now within the first
week or so of university. The icebreakers in
the department corridors helped everyone
to mingle and although I didn’t attend many
of the welcome week events, I found that
all of us were in the same boat so it was
easy to approach each other. I met some of
my closest friends now on the steps for our
department photo in the first couple of days.
Tell us about your year abroad
I’ve just returned from my year abroad at
Occidental College in Los Angeles, California.
As I mentioned, UEA was fantastic in
helping us all to prepare for the trip. It was
so rewarding – I’ve seen things and visited
places I never dreamed I would, and it was
so exciting to be there for the whole year.
The workload in America is very different to
Stephanie has just returned from her year abroad at Occidental
College in Los Angeles. Now back at UEA for her final year, she
takes some time to reflect on her experience so far.
back home and learning to be academically
adaptable has been a difficult lesson to learn,
but one that I know will benefit me now I’m
back at UEA in my final year, and beyond
university in adapting to postgraduate
research or to a working environment.
I’m seeing things and visiting places I never dreamed I would.
Are you a member of any
of the UEA societies?
How would you describe
Norwich?
I took part in a couple of the Creative Writing
Society open mic nights, and a workshop
or two. Although I didn’t fully commit to the
society, I found CWS very accepting of a
range of styles and I think their events are a
great opportunity for people to get feedback
on their work.
I love Norwich! The city has so much culture
and so much history, and I felt at home right
away. One of my interests is live literature,
and Norwich has a thriving live literary scene
with events on somewhere in the city every
week. It feels very safe, even at night, and
whether you’re looking to party all night or
just a quiet drink in a local pub, Norwich has
it all and more.

Life at UEA
The University of East Anglia is an internationally renowned
university based on a spacious campus that provides top
quality academic, social and cultural facilities to more than
15,000 students. The latest National Student Survey showed
once again that our students are among the most satisfied
in the country. The University has been in the top 10 English
mainstream universities for student satisfaction ever since
the survey began eight years ago. We came first in the most
recent What Uni Student Choice Awards and first in the
Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2013.
Our student accommodation has twice
been ranked first in the UK by the What Uni
Student Choice Awards.
An Ideal Location
Built on 130 hectares of beautiful parkland on
the outskirts of the historic city of Norwich,
our campus is one of the most innovative in
the country, combining natural beauty with
architectural flair. The campus has won more
than 20 architectural awards and ongoing
multi-million pound investment continues
to enhance teaching and research facilities.
Virtually no part of our campus is more than
a few minutes’ walk from anywhere else, and
almost every student need is catered for on
site – there’s a large food shop, a newsagent,
a post office, a bank, a pharmacy, two
launderettes, a Waterstones bookshop,
restaurants, bars and even a travel agent.
There are good public transport links into
the city, which has a mainline railway station
with regular services to London and all other
parts of the country. Norwich also has an
international airport.
Accommodation
Students outside Paston House, one of the University’s en suite residences.
Our accommodation has achieved the
joint highest score in the most recent
Times Higher Education Student Experience
Survey and has twice been ranked first in
the UK by the What Uni Student Choice
Awards. First year undergraduates, who
live outside a 12 mile radius of Norwich and
who have selected UEA as their firm choice
are guaranteed one of our 3,500 study
bedrooms (many en suite). You will need
to apply by the deadline which is published
on our website.

seven days a week facility housing more
than 800,000 books and journals, as well as
extensive collections of specialist materials.
We provide a wide range of IT services

one of the finest sports complexes in Britain,
boasting a state of the art Olympic-sized
swimming pool, athletics track, climbing wall,
superbly equipped gym and an extensive
range of sports and leisure activities, from
dance classes to five-a-side football.
In the Independent’s Complete University
Guide our sports facilities and services
attained the highest overall ranking in
any British university.
The Independent says our Student Union
gig roster is “like pop music’s roll of honour,
with the biggest names performing each year
and other students’ unions wondering how
on earth we manage it”. As well as regular
film screenings, weekly club nights, balls and
fashion shows, the LCR plays host to a wide
range of popular bands, with around 60 gigs
on campus each year. Recent gigs include
Coldplay, Bombay Bicycle Club, Ed Sheeran,
Rizzle Kicks, Wretch 32, Professor Green,
Kaiser Chiefs, Example, Fun, Jake Bugg
and Noah and the Whale.

Norwich and the Region
Norwich is the perfect student city. Lively, and with a real
character all of its own, it has a charming mix of the historical and
the new. The history of the city is visible for all to see, whether
it be the medieval Norman Castle which dominates the skyline,
the two cathedrals or the city walls themselves. Norwich has
superb facilities ranging from countless cafés, restaurants, retail
outlets, shopping malls, entertainment venues and the stunning
Millennium Library ‘The Forum’. There are plenty of opportunities
to catch live music or theatre and the city is teeming with modern
and traditional pubs. The local football team, Norwich City, is a
top-flight club and suitably befitting such a wonderful county which
was recently ranked as the safest place to live in the UK. Our
students love Norwich so much, many stay long after their studies.
“Norwich… has been voted one
of the best small cities in the world.”
The Times Good University Guide 2013
Shopping
Norwich was voted one of the top 10
shopping destinations in the UK and it’s
no wonder. With modern shopping malls
and chain stores sitting alongside stunning
arcades, cobbled streets and the UK’s
largest open-air market, Norwich is a joy
to walk around. As well as four department
stores, Norwich has plenty of small
independent stores, vintage second-hand
shops and exciting new ‘pop-ups’.
Nightlife
Norwich has a thriving club and bar scene
with new establishments opening all the time.
There are also a number of live music venues
such as the Norwich Arts Centre and UEA’s
very own LCR and The Waterfront.
There are hundreds of pubs dotted around
Norwich, which at one time was said to
have had a tavern for every day of the year.
Many pubs host comedy and quiz nights
whilst real-ale fans will not want to miss the
famous Norwich Beer Festival.
“The cathedral, castle and Elm Hill are the old and beautiful
places to visit, where there are lovely cafés and incredible
architecture, whilst you can go to Chapelfield, Gentleman’s
Walk and the market for a massive selection of shops,
restaurants and café chains. The variety in Norwich is
amazing.” Naomi Newell, current student (pictured left).
Norwich is England’s first UNESCO City of Literature.

“I think Norfolk is the
most beautiful and

Honorary Graduate
Art and Culture
Perfect Location
There are four cinemas in Norwich including
the art-house Cinema City and six theatres
that regularly host performances of
everything from Shakespeare to Jimmy Carr.
There are also many museums and galleries
in the city centre as well as annual events
such as the arts-driven Norfolk and
Norwich Festival.
The University of East Anglia has a unique
location. Situated on the edge of both the
city and countryside, you are perfectly placed
to explore both. The Norfolk coastline is
home to world famous bird reserves and
beautiful beaches, as well as ever-changing
countryside interlaced with sleepy medieval
villages, bustling market towns and stately
homes. One of England’s most beautiful
national parks, The Broads, is also right on
your doorstep for sailing, walking and cycling
while paintballing, amusement parks, a trip
to the zoo or a day at the races are all within
easy striking distance of the University.
The carnival and firework display for the Lord
Mayor’s celebration every July is also not to
be missed while the Royal Norfolk Show is
the country’s largest two-day county show
which celebrates all that is great about this
diverse county from its agricultural heritage
to its gourmet food producers.
Travel
Food and Drink
Norwich has plenty of choice when it comes
to eating out. Japanese, Thai and Italian sit
alongside traditional English restaurants and
pub grub. Celebrity chefs Delia Smith and
Jamie Oliver both have restaurants in the city.
Delia’s is an established restaurant situated
alongside Norwich City’s football ground,
whilst Jamie’s Italian has only recently opened
for business in the Royal Arcade. You’ll be
pleased to know that many Norwich eateries
also offer student discount.
The magnificent Norwich Castle dominates
the city’s skyline.
Norwich’s historic Royal Arcade is home to a new Jamie’s
Italian and the famous Colman’s Mustard shop and museum.
Norwich has excellent public transport with
trains every 30 minutes to London. Norwich
International Airport is only 15 minutes from
the city centre and has links worldwide via
daily flights to Amsterdam. National Express
and Megabus also operate services directly
from the University.
Magnificent windmills can be found alongside the Norfolk
Broads – the UK’s largest natural protected wetland.

foreword
chef’s intro
I am delighted to be able introduce this new cookbook written specifically for
students living in UEA residences. The idea for the cookbook was stimulated
by feedback from former students who were not used to cooking in the combimicrowave ovens in UEA kitchens, or even perhaps cooking at all, and were
finding it difficult to make interesting meals for themselves.
Well, here we are, finally the first UEA student cookbook. Bursting with
national and international classic recipes and finished with a modern twist.
The purpose of this book is to encourage everybody to cook with fresh, local
and sustainable produce, to promote healthy eating, to encourage the use of
modern equipment, but most of all to have fun!
Our first idea was to provide better instructions for the ovens, but then we
thought we could do even better by drawing on the experiences of some of the
many talented and creative students who have lived on campus. What follows
are some helpful hints and tips, and then an amazing range of recipes. All have
been created, cooked and enjoyed in our kitchens by UEA students.
We hope this book will inspire students with a love and knowledge of food and
cooking and make it central to everyday life at UEA. The combi-microwave
ovens provide more flexibility than standard ovens, they are not only simple
and safe to use for all the recipes in this book, but are also energy efficient.
GIUSEPPE ‘PINO’ LONGORDO, EXECUTIVE HEAD CHEF, UEA CATERING
You will find recipe ideas to meet a wide range of dietary preferences and
budgets, ranging from basic meals for students in a hurry to meals that would grace a table in the most sophisticated of settings. They include ideas
for meals I would never have thought of: replacing spaghetti with strips of
cabbage to produce a low-carb ‘spaghetti bolognese’ is an inspirational idea for someone who loves cabbage as much as I do. However, cabbage haters fear not: for those whose tastes are at another end of the spectrum there is a recipe for tortellini with hot dogs too, and much much more.
I would like to thank all those who took the trouble to send us their recipes, and also Paul Bailey, Katie Edwards and Matthew Marshall-Nichols,
who brought the initial idea to fruition, Giuseppe ‘Pino’ Longordo the Executive Head Chef, and Emma Bailey, our designer who has made the cookbook so attractive.
Be inspired and enjoy!
ANNIE GRANT, DEAN OF STUDENTS
WHY BOTHER LEARNING TO COOK?
Being a student is lots of fun, but it can have its down side. For most students
it is the first time that they have left home and can therefore be somewhat
disconcerting. The realisation that there is now no framework around to feed
you every day, can be a little daunting to say the least. This book has been
written for our students, by our students. Written with your experience in
mind, these students have been there and found out for themselves – just how
easy and rewarding it can be, to create tasty food on a budget.
WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME?
If you haven’t already been put off by the thought of another dinner from a tin,

This guide will help to show you how to use
and make the most of the combi-microwave
oven in your student residences.
There are slightly different models of combi-microwave ovens across the residences so while we do try to
guide you through the basic functions; you need to be aware of slight differences between the models which
may affect the order that some steps need to be taken. Your combi-microwave ovens have three functions that
can be used individually, or in a combination. This guide will take you through the individual functions and then
show you how to combine two functions to make the most of the state-of-the-art facilities.
MICROWAVE
This function acts as a microwave only with no influence from convection cooking.

COMBINED FUNCTIONS
The guide will now show you how to make use of the combi-ovens ability to combine
functions. For example: you can combine the microwave function and the convection
oven setting, or combine the microwave and grill to produce quick and quality food.
Using microwaves alongside convection and grilling functions can reduce cooking by 50%.
CONVECTION MICRO COOKING
GRILL MICRO COOKING
The convection micro combination function
uses microwaves (to heat the food and reduce
cooking time) alongside the hot air from the oven
function (to crisp the surfaces). Cooking time is
decreased by 50% while giving the same overall
results of the food. Ideal for: cakes, crumbles,
pies, roast vegetables and roast dinners.
This method uses the heat from the grill to heat the
air within the cavity, concentrating heat to the top of
the food and again using the microwaves to reduce
the cooking time. Best for: Food that needs heating
throughout and a golden brown top.

thai quorn green curry
simplest but tastiest
mushroom risotto
When I first cooked this dish at the beginning of the second year it was
first time I had tried Quorn chicken. I’m not a vegetarian, and though
not being a big meat eater I do love chicken so this meal was a bit of a
gamble! I noticed that there are quite often deals at the supermarket
on their Quorn products so I thought I would give it a go and save some
money. I liked it so much I’ve not gone back to real chicken since!
Once tried, risotto can quickly become a staple
meal for anybody. This recipe is creamy, rich,
delicious and simple! Recipe by Ed Skerry. Lived in the University Village 2010-2011

peanut butter thing
This dish was first cooked on an evening in the student flat with my
girlfriend. We had debated as to whether or not we should order a pizza
but having concluded that a pizza would be unnecessarily expensive, opted
for scouring the fridge and cupboard for what food was left. We were roughly
inspired by satay chicken dishes (we’re both peanut butter fanatics!) and we
wanted to use up the remaining vegetables before they went off.
The lack of meat in the dish is not intentional but we’ve found that the combination of peanut butter and
rice is so filling that adding any would be too much. Diced chicken, quorn or cubes of tofu would fit in with
the nature of this dish perfectly if desired. The listed vegetables are also simply a guideline on what we’ve
found works best with our personal tastes.

make the sauce and will
prevent the peanut butter
from drying out in the next stage.
5. A

the pan, turning the heat
down lower at this point.
Stir it in until all the
vegetables are covered in
sauce. You can add more
water/peanut butter to
make more sauce if you
wish but make sure that
the butter does not dry out.

This is a very easy and fast way for
students to cook a yummy meal
in 5-10 minutes and the flavour
can be changed as you like. It is
really good for students that live
on campus and would like to save
time in their day. I adapted it from
the internet.

I used to make this dish with my
friends in halls – each time trying
to stack it higher and higher. I
found this recipe while browsing
through ‘Concrete’ one day. The
original recipe was for just one
tortilla but we thought it would be
much better in layers
This recipe is one a family
friend used to make when I was little. I introduced the
recipe to my flat when I got to
the UEA and now many of them eat this really quick and cheap dish regularly.

My flatmates in the Village were dedicated foodies. We ate dinner together at least once a week and were
always trying to push the boundaries as to what you could make in a combi-oven and grill. Back in the
pre-uni days I used to make this at home with much fancier ingredients, goats cheese, organic salsa,
all the things in the original Nigella Lawson recipe for Mexican Lasagne. In the dark days between rent
paying and the next loan instalment this much more humble version of the recipe was born. It’s much
cheaper than a domino’s and feeds four easily (with seconds!).

method
FOR THE SAUCE
1. S
et the microwave oven to
200 degrees on the oven
setting and preheat.
1 tablespoon oil
1 red pepper chopped
1 onion chopped
1 clove of garlic chopped
2 green chillies chopped
(although chilli powder works
just as well if you have that)
2 tablespoons of coriander
1 teaspoon of salt
2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon of ketchup
FOR THE FILLING
2 x 400g tins of black beans (or
substitute for any beans of your
choice – kidney beans work well)
2 x 250g tins of sweetcorn
250g of grated cheddar
1 pack of tortillas
you will need
A round pyrex or microwave proof
dish (about 3 inches deep)
Saucepan
Mixing bowl
Colander
Cheese grater
Sharp knife
cooking time
45-55 minutes
2. In the saucepan fry the onion,
pepper and chilli with the salt
and garlic over a low heat
(with the lid on) for 15 minutes.
3. A
dd the coriander, cans
of tomatoes, ketchup and
half a canful of water to the
pan. Continue to cook it at a
medium heat while you make
the filling.
4. D
rain the beans and
sweetcorn and combine them in a bowl with nearly
all of the grated cheese. Remember not to use all of it
as you will need some to put
on top of the pie once you have made it.
5. T
ake your pyrex dish and see
if your tortilla wraps will fit
flat in the bottom. If not, cut
them down to a size that will.
You can grill up the pieces
you cut off to make tortilla
chips later on if you wish.
6. W
hen you have 3 or 4
tortillas, cut to size,
take your tomato sauce
(it should be about the
consistency of soup)
and put 2 tablespoons
of it in the bottom of the
dish. If the sauce is not
ready then leave it on the
hob for a little longer to
reduce for a few more
minutes.
7. P
ut one of the tortillas
on top of the sauce in
the dish and then 2
tablespoons of the filling
on top of that.
8. R
epeat the sauce/
tortilla/filling stacking
until you have run out of
ingredients or the dish
is full leaving one tortilla
back for the end.
9. P
ut the final tortilla on
the top of the stack and
cover with any remaining
sauce and the rest of the
grated cheese.
10.Cook it in the oven for
around 30 minutes
or until the cheese is
bubbling and golden.
11.Slice it up like a pie and
serve with a salad or
tortilla chips and some
guacamole.

the most impressive and delicious pizza ever!
A really authentic pizza perfect for impressing company or just
yourself when a pizza is in order! The beauty is any ingredients can be
added on top, it means you can use up whatever dregs you have left in
the cupboard. The grill interestingly adds the smokiness a traditional
stone oven would.

classic bolognese
spaghetti carbonara with
courgette and basil
Here’s a recipe I adapted from a cookbook while at University in Suffolk
terrace. It’s a Classic Bolognese (as cooked by an Englishman whose
family came from Russia and Germany). The book I have is German and is called Pasta Für Jeden Tag by Anna DelConte and Eric Treuille.
I found this recipe on the Waitrose website when hunting for some
hob-only recipes in my first year. Although not in the original recipe,
I have found that bacon is a good addition.

creamy salmon pasta
I love this meal and during my life at the UEA I have cooked it so many times. Most of
my friends have tried and like it so I felt the urge to share it. It is very simple, quick,
reasonably healthy and very delicious! I’ve tried making it back home in Uzbekistan
but it wasn’t as awesome as it used to be in Norwich. Maybe it is the British salmon
or maybe there is something special about UEA residences which is impossible to feel
anywhere else, but I’m looking forward to coming back and making it again!

3.Now add the salmon pieces
and stir fry for 5 minutes.
4.Once the salmon is cooked
through, add the cream.
Simmer the cream until it
thickens. (This should take 5
to 10 minutes). You can also
season the dish at this point
if you wish.
5.Turn down the heat a little
and continue stirring while
you add the cheese. When it
melts, and adds colour to
the cream, the meal is ready
to be served.
6.Serve the meal with
your pasta of choice.
Depending on the sort
you have picked it will
take a varying amount of
time to cook. Remember
to start it so that it is
ready at the same time
as the fish and sauce.
7.If you want to make this
more nutritional, try
adding some brocolli
and peas. Boil them both
in salted water for 5
minutes. Drain and add
to the recipe along with
the cream. The additon
of some chopped dill,
will make this a really
special dish.

Know your penne from your pappardelle
Pasta is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine. In Italian, pasta means ‘paste’, and refers
to a dough made of durum wheat flour combined with a liquid. There are many shapes, sizes,
thicknesses and colors. We have selected just a few below to get you started.
Serves 1
penne with vodka sauce
PENNE
Tubes
Penne is a good pasta
to serve with fairly thick
creamy or tomato based sauces.
FARFALLE
Bowties
Farfalle are versatile and
perfect in many dishes.
Served hot, they are good
with light delicate sauces
and vegetables.
SPAGHETTI
Long and thin
Traditionally great with
a bolognese sauce all
covered in cheese. But
this pasta also lends
itself to a meatball
topping.
TORTELLINI
Stuffed
Best served with creamy
sauces, but is also great
served cold in salads
with salami, lemon juice
and white wine vinegar.
SPAGHETTI HOOPS
Tinned
Always good to fall back
on when your tummy is
rumbling and your fridge is
bare. Just heat and serve
with hot butterd toast.
FUSILLI
Corkscrew
The twists and turns are
good for holding rich,
chunky pasta sauces. Try
a spicy chorizo dish with a
little olive oil.
MACARONI

Meltingly marvelous with
cheese and even better
when accompanied by
chopped pepperoni.

the ultimate chicken pie
As a northerner, I love pie. This recipe was written by me and the Head Chef of the restaurant I used
to work in. It’s a real crowd pleaser and can be made in the UEA combi-microwaves to really show
off your cooking skills. The flour and butter roux is not necessary but it really does add to the flavour.
Also, if you are wheat intolerant or pastry is out of your budget, finely sliced potatoes or breadcrumbs
work just as well as a topping.

2 leeks – finely cut
1 garlic clove crushed
750ml chicken stock
125ml of cream
Thyme (fresh or dried)

1 puff or short crust pastry sheet
you will need
Large oven proof dish
Large saucepan
Measuring jug
Sharp knife
cooking time
1 hour
2. F
irst, poach the chicken in
the stock for 30 minutes on
a medium heat. This means
that you can cook the chicken
in the stock on the hob for
30 minutes at a simmering
heat. If you are using cubed
chicken breast then you may
want to brown the meat in a
frying pan and make the stock
separately instead of this.
3. O
nce cooked, remove the
chicken and keep the stock
on the hob at a low heat.
4. C
ut the chicken into bitesized chunks and put into
your pie dish (or other
heatproof dish).
5. M
elt the butter in a pan on a
low heat, then add the flour
and beat rapidly, this will turn
into a paste. Don’t worry if it
looks a bit odd.
6. A
dd the leeks, onion and
garlic to the butter and flour
paste. add more butter as
necessary to soften the onion
if it begins to dry out.
7. O
nce the onion has
softened, add the thyme
and chicken stock slowly,
stirring continuously. You may not need all of
the stock.
8. C
ook this on a higher
heat until it has reduced
by a third.
9. R
educe the heat and add
the cream. Season it
with salt and pepper.

chicken in a mustard and mushroom sauce
poulet au cidre
Norwich is famous for it’s mustard – this dish is a perfect recipe
for trying out some of the local produce and you can even visit the
museum which is one of the city’s most popular and cherished
heritage attractions.
This is my version of a French dish my mother taught me. The
best thing about it, besides that it tastes nice, is that it is incredibly
economical if you buy the supermarket’s cheapest frozen chicken legs
which are completely appropriate for this dish. The name of the dish is
Poulet au Cidre which translates to Chicken in Cider.

serve. You should only add
the salt at this last stage
or the meat may become
tough during cooking.

easy grilled chicken
One morning while I was on my way to the UFO to pick up some
groceries, I noticed a number of rosemary plants growing in the space
next to Broadview Lodge. It had this uplifting aroma which inspired
me to cook something. So instead of using fresh rosemary I thought of
using the dried herbs that I had purchased before as a pizza seasoning.
I went back to the kitchen and came up with this recipe. It’s very simple,
the ingredients are readily available and to top it all, it’s very delicious
and healthy. Have it for dinner or lunch. Happy cooking and bon appetit!

and heat it gently with the
butter until the butter has
melted. Add the vanilla
extract to it while it is still hot.
4. W
hisk the eggs and sugar
until very light and frothy. This
should take 5 minutes with
an electric whisk. If you are
using a hand whisk it will take
much longer, perhaps around
15 minutes.
5. In a separate bowl combine
the flour, baking powder and
coco powder, be sure to sift it.
6. R
eturn to the eggs and sugar
mixture, slowly fold the flour
and coco mix into it, beating
all the while. Then, using
a spatula, fold the mixture
together with the milk mix
from the pan, being careful
not to knock too much air out of it.
7. P
our the cake mix into the
mould and bake in the oven
for around 40 minutes or until
a knife inserted into the cake
comes out clean. When it is
cooked, put it to one side to cool.
8. T

the cream until thick
then add raspberries and
crush slightly with a fork
until you have a pinkish
mixture.
9. W

until almost melted, then
remove from the heat
and whisk until smooth.
Leave the mixture for
an hour during which
it will thicken and take

11.Pour this over the cake, to
completely coat the sides
and top.

My recipe is just a really basic banana flapjack. I didn’t really use
measurements when I made these, it was all estimates. What I‘ve done
for this recipe is use measurements that I found online to make it easier.
This is a really easy snack to make and I became well known in my flat for
cooking. I love bananas and bought them every week but we often found
we would have some left. So that we didn’t waste food we would use the
old bananas to make flapjacks.

1. C
ut the bananas up into

container for around 2 hours.
2. W
hen they are frozen, take
them out of the freezer,
empty them into a jug and

of choice.
3. S

Set of scales (or just guess…)
Baking tray
Knife
cooking time
30 minutes
2. M
elt the butter and sugar in the saucepan, stirring the whole time, on a low heat to prevent the butter
from burning.
3. P
our melted butter and sugar
into the mixing bowl, add the
porridge oats and golden
syrup/honey as well. You can
add as much syrup as you
want, but if the bananas used
are already really ripe then
it’ll be really sweet, so be
careful how much you use.
4. G
rease the baking tray
with butter, and spread
the mixture on top of it
using a spoon to even it
out. Don’t spread it out too
much so that the flapjacks
are nice and thick.
5. P

apple cake
Here’s a recipe for an apple cake I’ve made tons of times in the combi-microwave oven. The recipe
is easily halved, although then the sizes will need to be changed accordingly. You can also leave out
the apples and add cocoa powder, coffee, vanilla or whatever you like. This is the basic recipe you
can adapt however.
method
1. S
tart by preparing the tin.
Grease and flour it or line it
with baking parchment.
2. S
ieve the flour and baking
powder into the bowl with the
metal spoon. Sieve in the sugar.
ingredients
240g of self-raising flour
240g caster sugar
240g margarine
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 eating apples
you will need
Mixing bowl
Wooden spoon
Metal spoon
Sieve
Chopping board
Small, sharp knife
Rectangular cake tin
(about 11” by 4”)
Teaspoon
Wire rack (optional)
Baking parchment (optional)
Foil (optional)
cooking time
1 hour 20 minutes
3. P
eel the apples and cut them
into quarters. Cut out the
cores and chop the apples
into cubes about 1cm square.
4. M
ix the ingredients in
the bowl together. When
everything is more or less
combined, beat hard for 2 to
3 minutes. Stop when you can
see air bubbles popping in the
mixture as you beat.
5. P
re-heat the oven 180
degrees. Make sure that
it’s on oven mode, not
microwave.
6. M
ix the apple gently into the
mixture and tip it in to the
tin. Spread it vaguely into
the corners. Don’t fiddle too
much making it flat or you
will knock the air out.
7. P
ut the cake into the oven
and bake for 30 minutes
without opening the door. If
you open the door it will sink.
8. A
fter 30 minutes open the
door and have a look. It will
need at least another 15 to 20
minutes but you may need to
cover it with foil to stop the
top getting too brown before
the middle is cooked.
9. F
rom here you have to
keep checking it at least
every ten minutes, it
shouldn’t sink too much if
you open the door at this
stage. Prod it gently with
your finger or a sharp
knife. If it doesn’t spring
back when you prod it or
there is residue on the
knife it’s not ready. It should be obvious when it is done.
10.When it is baked, take it
out and leave it on the
worktop. Most worktops
are steel so this should
be OK. If you have a
wooden one, rest it
across a couple of the
(cold) hobs. When the
tin is cool, handle bang
it vigorously around the
sides, tip the cake out
onto your hand and then
onto a plate. If you have a
wire rack, use it instead.
11.If it is cooling on a plate,
turn it upside down at
least once, otherwise the
bottom will get too soggy
from the apple juice.
12.When it is cold you can
ice it with buttercream.
Alternatively you can mix
icing sugar and hot water
to make simple icing.
