UEA's campus is like a mini city.

It's big enough to find your niche, but small enough to call home

From iconic architecture to unspoiled parkland, UEA’s campus is a diverse and inspiring place to study, with amazing on-campus facilities like the library and Sainsbury Centre all in easy reach. Just two miles from the vibrant city-centre of Norwich, our campus lets you fully immerse yourself in UEA’s community.

Everything you need in one place

While vibrant Norwich is just a short journey away, all the day-to-day facilities you might need can be found on UEA’s campus. We aim to provide everything required to make our students’ lives safe and hassle-free, with a medical centre and NHS dentist located in the centre of campus. You’ll also find a Post Office and supermarket stocked with all the essentials you’ll need.
