How to get to UEA
UEA’s campus is located in the vibrant city of Norwich. Whether you travel by car, bus, coach or train, Norwich is well connected and easy to reach from wherever you start your journey. We’re less than two hours from London, in beautiful Norfolk.
Norwich has great local transport options too so, once you arrive in the city, it’s easy to get to campus.
What’s more, if you’re coming to an Open Day or applicant day, we’ve teamed up with local travel companies to offer you free and discounted train, bus and coach tickets so you can save on the journey.
