General information

The University of East Anglia (UEA) is a Top 15 university (The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2017) and consistently ranked as one of the best universities for student experience in both the National Student Survey and the Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey.

Our campus environment was rated as the best in the UK in 2016, and we have been in the top 10 UK universities since the survey began.

We are an internationally renowned university, based on a campus that provides top quality academic, social and cultural facilities to over 15,000 students.

The campus is located in 320 acres of rolling parkland just two miles from the centre of Norwich, the cathedral city, and England’s first UNESCO City of Literature. Our uniquely-placed University is also a leading member of Norwich Research Park, one of Europe's biggest concentrations of researchers in the fields of environment, health and plant science.

Sporting facilities on campus include the University Sportspark which houses an Olympic-sized swimming pool and regularly hosts international sporting events. UEA also has the world famous Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and hosts an International Literary Festival which has included famous names such as Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro and Anne Enright (all alumni of UEA's Creative Writing course).
