University of East Anglia UEA

Students live and study within 15 minutes of the city of Norwich, a historically rich city with a thriving contemporary scene. Our students have access to a range of fun activities, from going to the Cinema to watch the latest movies, playing board games at local cafes, and renting a boat for the day, to doing escape rooms, bowling, and winter sports.

Not only this, but UEA is a great place to study for sports enthusiasts, and the campus hosts a massive array of world-class training and performance facilities, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool and athletics track, indoor and outdoor multi-purpose sports courts and pitches. There are many competitive and recreational sports teams, as well as over 200 special interest societies and clubs to join.

The cost of living in Norwich is also generally cheaper than other university cities, with rent prices being 53.7% lower than in London.

UEA’s campus is like a mini city - It’s big enough to find your niche but small enough to call home. The iconic architecture designed by Denys Lasdum in the 1960’s might look like a concrete jungle to the unknown eye but has secured it place in architecture history. It was futuristic then and has continued to grow with the Sainsburys Centre for the Visual Arts and The Enterprise Centre, thinking about sustainability and layout. The Avengers: Age of Ultron movie even used us as it headquarters as an homage to our campus being so unique and innovative. Don’t worry though if you’re not big on buildings, as the campus is located in many acres of landscaped grounds, woodland, and a lake, perfect for walks, chats with friends, or a quiet study spot.
