The University of East Anglia is proud of the increasing diversity of its campus and works with staff, students and organisations around Norwich and Norfolk, regionally and nationally to achieve its aim of being an inclusive place for study and work.

We hope you will find these pages a useful resource and will refer to them regularly whether as a member of staff or as a student.

The menu on the left will take you to areas telling you about networks and interest groups you can join,  the current legislative framework or information and documents on impact assessment.  It will be updated when consultation exercises take place.
