| A great campus UEA campus is just a couple of miles from the vibrant centre of Norwich. Though, with the students union providing such a fantastic range of bars, venues and entertainment you might wonder why anyone would ever venture off campus. The 320 landscaped acres of campus also boast superb sports facilities, a great range of shops and cafes and the internationally renown Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, not to mention some striking 1960s architecture. |

Thanks to its excellent teaching, wide mix of courses, fantastic campus and idyllic location the university as a whole came top in the 2006 National Student Survey and is consistently ranked in the top five mainstream English Universities. |
