University of East Anglia
The University of East Anglia (UEA) is an internationally renowned university situated within a distinctive and attractive campus in the historic city of Norwich.
One of the UK’s top 15 universities (The Times/Sunday Times 2018), we are proud to offer excellent academic, social, and cultural facilities to over 15,000 students.
Since its foundation in 1963, the university’s commitment to achieving international standards of academic excellence has seen it placed in the world’s top 200 universities (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2018), and achieve ‘Gold’ status in the UK Government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (2017-2020).
