I've been really enjoying my time at UEA so far. If you're looking for a well-respected University in a low-key, but still interesting and exciting environment with plenty to do, I would highly recommend the University of East Anglia. They have a wide selection of courses ranging from medicine to humanities (not to mention, Matt Smith studied Drama and Creative Writing here).

Hi :)
The majority of learning is definitely face to face. In some courses it is hybrid, so there are some face to face lectures, with videos uploaded to Blackboard.
The uni will be mostly doing face to face lectures now though!
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any further questions

Beautiful campus, and an inclusive environment that makes you feel at home.
very good university, the environment and facilities is very good
UEA's campus is such a highlight of the university!The environment is ideal. University can be a very busy, high-stress time and so to have the Lake and Earlham Park as part of our campus is such a blessing! We have a true nature haven on our doorstep. Whether you just need a quiet 10 minutes walk to yourself or a spot in the sun for bbq with friends, UEA's campus has got you covered 🌳
Very good library and gym facilities
Generally a good university for studying and meeting people whore like minded, the signal and wifi however is horrible on campus
UEA are fab when it comes to meeting like-minded people! They make it that bit easier for new students to find their people by having such a huge range of clubs and societies. With sports clubs for casual players and those who are more competitive, and societies covering groups from political parties to ethnic minorites, religions and lifestyles, and also subject specific societies so no matter what you are studying you can continue your interests in other disciplines :) Whatever you're into, you're sure to find it at UEA!
Great university great facilities. Good sports park. Good gym
The UEA campus is most definitely a highlight about studying here!The Sportspark, however, is a particular shining star and very much a hub on campus. With fully kitted out facilities, whatever your favourite way to work out the Sportspark will have what you need. Whether a beginner or a professional, there are personal trainers on site to assist and guide you as you wish and over 125 pieces of equipment. The Sportspark runs over 70 fitness classes per week, so there is sure to be something to take your fancy. Further, UEA has its own olympic-sized swimming pool with swimming lessons available so everyone can learn to love the water. Other facilities include a gymnastics centre, an indoor climbing wall, a full-sized athletics track, indoor and outdoor courts, and conference facilities. With over 250 sports clubs and societies, if you want to take your fitness to the next level, why not join your peers and join a sports team, you may even end up competing for the university!
great uni despite all the drama going around in the news
Pretty mediocre university located in a small city which can become very isolating quickly. The campus has a fairly large SU for its size and I think it puts too much effort into it rather than individual course teaching quality. The LCR is nothing to write home about, and they really hike up the prices of drinks for the students compared to other places. The university has suffered severe financial losses and has built up a lot of debt in the last few years so will be interesting to see how it plans out. The university also seems to take advantage of international students, especially those who study in INTO into legally binding contracts that are hard to avoid, and seems to provide poor quality education for the price they pay. The quality of education through lectures and seminars can be very hit and miss, with some lecturers having very poor levels of english and can be hard to understand. The library is very nice though, and props to the postal room staff who are great
I've been really enjoying my time at UEA so far. If you're looking for a well-respected University in a low-key, but still interesting and exciting environment with plenty to do, I would highly recommend the University of East Anglia. They have a wide selection of courses ranging from medicine to humanities (not to mention, Matt Smith studied Drama and Creative Writing here).
I completly agree, UEA definitely has pretty lowkey and chill vibes while constantly having things going on on campus - weekly club nights, food markets, outdoors cinema screens, nature walks, music/musicians, plant and poster sales - honestly more than I could ever remember from my 3 years here!
Very nice and new labs which was good for me as I am a chemistry student
The University of East Anglia (UEA) is a nice place to study.
I love my school. I encourage others to come study here.
That is great news! Which School do you study in at UEA?! :)
It’s a good uni, I’ve enjoyed my time here thoroughly. Campus is always really nice to walk around especially in summer.
Great university with great courses. Great student support team.
UEA is a really good university, i would recommend!
UEA is an amazing university! It has incredible facilities (the library and Sainsbury center being my personal favourites) and it is extremely welcoming and inclusive. We are offered many opportunities to socialise and make new friends.
Hello! :) Yes, UEA is an amazing university! The facilities are great for studying and daily campus life! It is great to hear that you agree! :) UEA Rep Lucy 3rd Year Economics with a year abroad
The societies are good but the lectures are usually useless and the campus is really ugly
UEA's campus may not be for everyone, those particularly adverse to concrete we're looking at you...However, we're not a completely concrete jungle, in fact, our campus features over 50 acres of stunning parkland and walks across Earlham Park and around our famous on-campus lake!We also boast some of the most intersting eco-friendly buildings across the country. Our Enterprise Centre is multi-award winning and one of the greenest buildings in Europe, while our Climatic Research Unit is widely recognised as being industry-leading globally. One of UEA's most famous and award-winning sights, however, is the Ziggurats. Having won many architectural awards, these accommodation blocks are one of the most famous sights on campus and are what many people associate with UEA's campus generally. They are an iconic accommodation option for first-year students being the cheapest UEA accommodation available. And of course, this wouldn't be a UEA campus post without mentioning that we are one of the homes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Mostly featuring in Avengers: Age of Ultron, UEA's Sainsbury Centre is instantly recognisable as the Avenger's Headquarters and is a fab spot on campus for a particularly good photo op :)
The uni is huge, but loads of signage and maps available to students. Timetable system has been a bit of an mess this year but has improved. Teaching is good and ample support available to you. Lots of places to eat :). Easy to book library spaces.
The uni has a lovely surroundings. The facilities for lectures and sports on campus are great. However, the price of the accommodation is way too high for what we are given. The political stance of the SU is ridiculous banning military representation such as wearing uniform on campus during remembrance.
Great university, facilities are outstanding, more than adequate, lots of options for spending time and usually not enough minutes in the day to physically do everything you want to do. Wifi is questionable but currently being upgraded, or so we’re told.
Very nice place to study, really enjoying my experience here
Absolutely loved my four years at UEA in the School of Environmental Sciences.
These last three years have been some of the best of my life. The campus is beautiful, the number of clubs and societies available is insanely extensive, and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. I can quite honestly say that I can't imagine myself studying anywhere else.
Good university to develop knowledge, skills, and yourself.
Very satisfied with my experience at UEA. I have completed both my BSc and MSc here and cannot complain at all about the level of education and support I have received. Would highly recommend.
Support during covid has been incredibly lacking. But Uea has a stunning campus and great facilities so I can almost forgive it
It’s alright. Sportspark is not cheap. Wifi sometimes is not stable. But they got rabbits!
Home of the wonderful. Well spent
It’s a great university with lots of resources available to students, from the careers service to the student support service. Excellent quality of teaching and education guaranteed
UEA is a great university. There are very frequent and reliable buses. There are a range of clubs and societies. The lecturers and advisors are very supportive.
That`s great to hear! :)
I can't really comment on clubs and societies because I haven't been able to take part properly but from what I've heard from previous years, it sounds great. Get involved as much as you can! Loads of different study spaces around campus, library is great too. Student Union and other student reps have done well this year with getting a rent rebate, making extensions free of requiring evidence (from Jan 2021 to March 2021) and letting final years get a better overall grade if there grades were better last year. Great work. I can't comment on careers service as I have had no involvement yet. The only time I've had issues with wifi is in accommodation a couple times, nothing major
UEA has so much to offer from sports clubs, societies and support to all students. The campus is beautiful and is perfect for walks around the lake. UEA aims to make all students feel at home and make the most of all the opportunities given to us.
pricey on campus food/ cafe outlets is my only complaint!! very frequent and reliable buses, personally i have had good experiences in my accomodation (paston, friendly flatmates and tidy space) and good experience in the doctors surgery
Chilled out and peaceful place
The campus and facilities are all you could need. Dont really know anything about the students union or careers service. The wifi is great wherever you are around campus!
For those gamers, WiFi on campus is lovely. Super fast up to 80 mbps down and like 20 up. Library is really peaceful can get a lot of work done. Especially when you only got the night to do it (library is 24/7). There is a club on campus (lcr) sooo lit. Teaching is good, support is amazing. I study economics and it’s made me smarter as an individual. The people in this uni is what I love most. We have a face book page whenever something goes missing and boyyyy I’ve lost some stuff and got back same day!
OK uni, campus green space is lovely, otherwise not much going for it.
The uni campus is so beautiful and a lovely environment. Everything is accessible and it is clear where everything is. There are so many clubs and societies accepting everyone. My club has definitely made my uni experience so far! SU nights out are the best and it is always busy the facilities are fab there’s everything you need. Wifi was always working perfectly
The UEA campus is amazing! Because it is a campus university, everything you need is right within walking distance on the campus itself, and the student Union is always busy because it’s the hub of the uni. The nature and views around campus are beautiful and if you enjoy walks then the lake, Earlham park and surrounding areas are perfect for you! It also has the perfect mix of modern and more historic buildings, and the staff truly love and care about their university.
a good place to study. but sometimes hard to find out information
Professionally， responsible to the students, and responding to this outbreak quickly, and I appreciate that
Been an amazing experience so far and I can’t wait to carry it on
really good location,there are kind staffs and they are really helpful.
Have really enjoyed Norwich so far. A fine city.
Internet is horrendous, campus a bit dated.
Great university with a really good social and nightlife
Happy I’m staying in the center
Good experience, socials are really good.
weird learning experience and module organising
the wifi here is worse than my data
One of the most underrated Unis for law. My masters in law experience was fabulous here. Faculty is as good if not better than most unis and the LLM structure is also quite commendable. Great for competition law, media law and IP research.
Rubbish service all over campus especially towards accommodation. There’s so many societies and clubs there’s one for everyone
The UEA campus is INCREDIBLE! So much choice for lecture buildings, then you have the street and the square which is like the uni’s own town centre!
I have met some of the kindest people I ever have at UEA, as well as exceeding my own expectations of myself and being able to make my degree take the path I want it to without being forced into one. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to feel accepted and have the time of their lives to come to Norwich and try UEA for yourselves! It’s changed my life!
AWFUL EXPERIENCE, AVOID IF POSSIBLE!!!!!!
Campus is amazing, has everything we need. The SU can be a little ridiculous with some of their rules sometimes and make the uni look bad.
So many societies and sports clubs, perfect if you want to try something new, careers centre is really helpful! Great uni if you want to get stuck into extra curricular, CV building activities/opportunities. Teaching buildings and lecture theaters are decent, and science labs are really good quality
a good university. Apart from being in the middle of no where, is very good.
Internet regularly is slow or drops out. Places to eat all very expensive and campus shop is extremely expensive for the quality. No other shops on campus for food or within a 30 minute walk so a little disappointing. Very attractive campus however, particularly in good weather.
I love UEA, freshers has been my favourite time ever
great campus, only issue with societies is that sports and arts clash so you can't do both :(
Love the campus, great facilities, eduroam does tend to be a bit slow on occasion!
More of a community feel than any other uni I visited. Everything you need is on campus. You feel safe and comfortable walking anywhere. Massive range of clubs and societies to join. Loads of information provided by email about special talks, internships, career-related information, volunteering opportunities and other events on campus.
I haven't had a bad experience yet at UEA; the staff have all been friendly and helpful, the campus has all you technically need on site, but also has great public transport links with Norwich city, which is a walkable distance from campus. I've had a whale of a time so far and I'd recommend it to anyone.
SU doesn't like freedom of speech but other than that it's not too shabby.
Sports and societies just receive more funding to expand into larger groups
Oh UEA is wonderful and the LCR is good too
Not a fan of the location of the campus, which serves to make some individuals more used to a bustling city environment (like myself) feel fairly isolated. From what I've seen of the clubs and societies, there are a lot of them, there will be at least a few that you feel compelled to discover more about. Only 2 laundrettes on the main campus means having to wake up at a ludicrous hour in order to not have to wait in a queue, and the prices in the campus shop are truly shocking. It is certainly worth considering the 30 minute walk to the nearest Aldi where you can buy three times as much for the same amount! The wifi drops out constantly, although this may just be in my accommodation, and I am still not used to the concrete buildings and walkways, and don't think I ever will be as they are honestly hideous, listed 1960s architecture though they may be, I am not a fan. However, I am greatly enjoying my course and the level of teaching is excellent.
All food is below average and completely over priced. Little variety. Broad range of societies however.
Lovely campus and people. Great opportunities for societies, trips etc. Internet is patchy. Haven't tried careers service properly yet, but the information that they give out is good.
Mixture of beautiful landscape and ugly buildings
Really decent university, no quarrel with any of the campus facilities, can get free fast wifi most places on campus. Only thing i would say, student shop and coffee shops are too expensive (even with NUS card).
it's a great campus with a real community feel. There's no place like UEA
I really love UEA, you never really need to leave campus, theres so much to do here.
It's a fantastic place to study.
Wanted to come here since I was a little girl, have not been disappointed!
Couldn't have asked for a better uni, like living in a hotel with my ensuite room! :)
Overall a good uni. Only being a fresher I haven't been here very long, but I feel the teaching and course are both excellent. My only bug is, being off campus, I have found it quite difficult to make friends and get into a social scene. But the facilities are very good and the city of Norwich has a lot to offer.
A beautiful university with lots of rabbits. Many societies and clubs to choose from, you will definitely find plenty you will want to join.
UEA is a life changing university. You come in quite scared about who you're going to meet and what experiences you're going to have and when it's time to go home to your parents, you can barely convey the amount of love and support that we all have for each other!
Fantastic place to be... So supportive and a wide range of opportunities :)
UEA is a very nice and comfy place, beautiful campus, lots of activities, friendly staff.
I only joined UEA this year and have already fallen in love wiht it
Awesome, modern, well equipped sports park; great music venue on campus; the city of Norwich is lovely; accommodation is very well situated and of good standard.
So far I can't complain about anything, this uni doesn't get enough recognition
Lcr has gone downhill (smoking / outside area has turn into a rabbit hutch), no more burger van, extremely high parking prices, food prices high and poor quality. Union doesn't stick up for important things. And sombreros were band.
First year so far is amazing and everything is pretty much on point!
So much going on all the time! events in the square and hive have been varied and fun. Last year Derby day was the best its ever been with music and a party in the square.
Great SU, loads of club nights. Everyone is so friendly!
I'm a fresher this year and so far everything has been really great; felt welcomed from day one and there has never been a lack of support for the transition. Lecturers are engaging and knowledgeable and the campus has a world of opportunities going for it :)
Great atmosphere with lots going on to suit all tastes and ages. Excellent links to Norwich City which is so nice. On site facilities very good with a great range of bars and cafes.
the best atmosphere and the loveliest people, the SU bar is great and you can't beat the LCR for a night out. Also there are rabbits everywhere, which just makes you feel generally better about life.
amazing student support, sports facilities and depth to the seminars
Everyone is really welcoming and their is lots of support for any problems. There is always something to get involved with
Can't fault the university, wonderful surroundings and based in such a lovely city.
Had the best years of my life at this university. Not only had the social aspect been fantastic including the live music society and the on campus club and pub but the ability to learn with the facilities on campus are brilliant. The teaching staff are excellent and my overall experience has been life changing. Best uni ever.
Great location, loads of stuff to do, great teaching & contact time. Downside is lack of year in industry in many subjects & lacking in number of high level internship contacts
UEA has a beautiful green campus, with over 200 clubs and societies, a great careers department and free Wi-Fi on and off campus!!!
Depends on what you're studying you will get to visit different facilities and buildings. For example med students get best of everything while maths and computing students get stuff on the crappier side. On the other hand students union is very supportive and you definitely will have your hands full.
Not the prettiest of campuses, but full of character with everything you need to hand. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I seem to have avoided the dramas with administration that friends at other unis have gone through. Norwich is a great city with lots of history and a fair amount of clubs - although if you're from somewhere like London it might be a bit of a let down. Very left wing and progressive, if you're into that. When I came to look around I wasn't expecting to like it, but I fell in love and here I am. Our unofficial slogan is 'Oh UEA is wonderful!' and most of the time it's not even being said sarcastically.
It is a great friendly campus with almost everything you need available for use. Professors are unusually helpful and willingly to even meet or Skype before an exam!
