A friendly, safe and diverse place to live that combines history and modernity, Norwich is a vibrant city with plenty to do and see. Whether you’re after live music, art, or award-winning restaurants, there is something for everyone. Easy to explore on foot, and with a beautiful river at its heart, you won’t be short of things to discover while making it your own. Less than two hours away from London by train, and with great transport links, you’ll never be far from home.
When making your university choice, it’s not only important to find the right course and place for you, but to also consider the practicalities of what you can afford. Norwich is often regarded as being an affordable place to live as a student but it’s important to budget accurately. Take a look at our Cost of Living page to find out more.
As well being a more affordable place to live as a student, we have a wide variety of university accommodation. Rooms on campus, in the heart of the city, or close by to campus - we really do have something for everyone. If we are able to offer you a place in Clearing, we will also be able to offer you guaranteed accommodation, as long as you select us as your preferred choice and complete all the relevant forms by our deadline.
We know that university life is made up of much more than just your academic studies, and we pride ourselves on our support services and wellbeing initiatives, so we’re always ready to help.

Similarly, studying abroad broadens your horizons, allowing you to enhance your academic experience by offering a wider range of study options and learning valuable skills including foreign languages. You can find out more about our 200 partnerships on our website.
