The City of Norwich

Based in the East of England, the University of East Anglia has a unique location. Situated on the edge of both the city of Norwich and the Norfolk countryside, our students are perfectly placed to explore both.

Norwich is friendly and dynamic, and it has been consistently ranked as one of the safest places to live in the UK. The city offers an exceptional social experience with its combination of well-preserved medieval buildings standing alongside shopping facilities ranked in the Top 5 in the UK.

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 scenic national parks, The Norfolk Broads, is also nearby for sailing, walking and cycling - while paintballing, amusement parks, a trip to the zoo or a day at the races are all just a short trip from the University.

UEA Accommodation.

The University has around 3,500 student rooms available, including two bedroom houses for students with families. Our accommodation has achieved one of the top scores in the most recent 'Times Higher Education Student Experience' review. Single International postgraduate students are normally guaranteed accommodation, provided that they have been offered and accepted a place at the University by the published deadline.
