Then use your free ticket to hop on the bus and explore the city of Norwich.

Whether you’re considering undergraduate or postgraduate studies, a Mini Open Day is the perfect way for you and your guests to find out more about life at UEA. Mini Open Days start at 11.30am finish by 3pm. Last tours depart at 2.30pm.
