“The University of East Anglia is an increasingly
popular campus-based University, just a couple
of miles from the centre of Norwich.
The University consistently makes the top 10
in the National Student Satisfaction survey and
came third in the latest Times Higher Education
student experience survey. The Student Union
was also voted the best student venue in the
country by the music industry’s Live! Magazine,
and top student union in the latest Whatuni
Student Choice Awards.”
The Guardian University Guide 2015
The Architects’ Journal has voted our original residences –
the Ziggurats – in the top 10 best examples of university
architecture in the country.
We offer over 3,800 fully furnished rooms in spacious on-site
buildings that sit in 200 hectares of natural landscape, which
may be why we were rated top 10 for accommodation in the latest Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2014.

An Inspirational Place
There is something special going on here at the
University of East Anglia and we want you to
be a part of it. We believe that happy students
are those settled into a comforting, friendly but
stimulating environment.

The University is home to a truly international community living and

Student Experience Survey 2014, UEA has long been recognised for
its commitment to ensuring a powerful academic, social and cultural
experience for all who study here.
Our award-winning accommodation sits just minutes from our
impressive teaching and research facilities on a vibrant campus akin
to an internationally diverse city, with shops, music venues, art
galleries, libraries, cafes and a £30 million Sportspark all located on
the edge of a beautiful, historic city voted the joint first safest place
to live in the UK. We believe UEA provides a truly life-changing
educational experience and we pride ourselves on the thousands of satisfied students who graduate each year.
UEA’s twin commitments to providing the best accommodation and
supporting the environment are reflected in the opening of our latest
student residence. Crome Court (pictured above) is home to 232
students in an environmentally advanced building which uses 69 per
cent of its energy from renewable sources and produces 95 per cent
less CO2 than if it were built to normal standards.
The new residence was just one element
of a £58 million programme of investment
in the campus during the University’s 50th
anniversary year which also featured extensive
refurbishment of the iconic Ziggurats, Norfolk
and Suffolk Terraces.

Campus Life
An Ideal Location
The University enjoys an enviable
international reputation. Set in 200
hectares of parkland, the campus itself
is central to the experience of being a
UEA student and provides top quality
academic, social and cultural facilities
to more than 15,000 students.
Built on beautiful parkland on the outskirts of the historic city of Norwich, our campus reflects the best of late 20th and
21st century British architecture. Our buildings have won more than 20 architectural awards and we have been at the
forefront of low energy building development. We won ‘first class’ honours in the People and Planet Green League
2013. We continue to invest in our buildings with a multi-million pound programme to enhance teaching and research
facilities and our student accommodation.
The University has been in the top 10 English
mainstream universities for student satisfaction ever
since the National Student Survey began and the
latest shows that our students are among the most
satisfied in the country. We were recently ranked 14th
among UK institutions by the Guardian University
Guide 2015 and appear within the top one per cent of universities worldwide.
There are excellent public transport links into the city and the University has negotiated a great deal with the local bus
company on a range of bus passes which offer up to 65 per cent discount off the standard ticket price. Norwich has
a mainline railway station with regular services to London and other parts of the country. Domestic and international
services fly in and out of Norwich International Airport with more than 1,000 worldwide destinations available through
Amsterdam, just a short connecting flight away.
All parts of the campus can be accessed easily on foot and it is only a short walk to the nearby Norfolk and Norwich
University Hospital and the Norwich Research Park. Our campus has a large shop incorporating a newsagent and
a post office, a high street bank, three launderettes,
a Waterstone’s bookshop, Boots pharmacy, coffee shops,
restaurants, bars and a careers service.

Learning and Teaching
UEA continues to enhance its learning and teaching facilities on campus all within walking distance of our
accommodation. The new Julian Study Centre opened in autumn 2013 providing cutting-edge audio visual technology,
a cafe and break out spaces as well as lecture theatres and seminar rooms. Nearby the Norfolk and Norwich University
Hospital provides a superb teaching environment with a dedicated clinical skills teaching area for our medical students.
Many of our research students are based in the Norwich Research Park, a multi-million pound research and business
community with a concentration of world-leading scientists at the cutting-edge of research in health, food and
environmental sciences.
200
Hectares of
natural landscape
Centrally located at the heart of campus, the University library is open and staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The library has an extensive collection of specialist materials and over 1,000 individual and group study spaces. With
open access PCs, a free wireless network and enthusiastic staff, the library provides an extensive range of resources to
support your studies.
The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts is a uniquely inspirational university museum housing outstanding collections of
world art which are used extensively in teaching and which all our students can visit for free.

Sporting Facilities
The University’s £30 million Sportspark

Whether you want to pursue an existing interest or try something new, one of our 200

throughout your
time at UEA.
Services for Students
Moving into residences, making friends, tackling your new course and taking
advantage of the exciting opportunities on offer can be challenging. We recognise
that not everyone takes all this in their stride so we provide a range of services to
help students make the most of their experience of being a student at UEA.
These are centred on the Dean of Students’ Office, a ‘one-stop-shop’ for students
wanting to speak to someone confidentially about any matter causing them concern.
There are advisers with expertise in student finances, effective academic skills,
disability, emotional and psychological well-being, specific learning difficulties and the
particular needs of international students. There is also a Multifaith Centre, careers
service, medical centre, dental practice and a day care nursery all on site.

Norwich and the Region
Norwich is the perfect student city. Lively,
and with a real character all of its own, it still
manages to be friendly and accessible to
students. The history of the city is visible for all
to see with its Norman castle, two cathedrals
and city walls but there are also striking modern
buildings such as the stunning Forum which
houses the Millennium Library and the BBC.
16
17
The city has superb facilities ranging from countless cafes,
restaurants, retail outlets, shopping malls and entertainment venues. There are plenty of opportunities to catch live music
or theatre and the city is teeming with modern and traditional
pubs. The local football club, Norwich City, plays in the English
Championship. Norfolk was recently ranked the joint first safest
place to live in the UK and our students love Norwich so much that many stay long after graduation.
Art and Culture
The city has
a wide range
of well known
and independent
shops to explore
There are four cinemas in Norwich
including the art-house Cinema City
and six theatres that regularly host
performances of everything from
Shakespeare to Jimmy Carr. There are
also many museums and galleries in
the city centre as well as annual events
such as the arts-driven Norfolk and
Norwich Festival.

Shopping
Norwich has been voted one of the
top 10 cities for shopping in the UK,
with large shopping centres, major
department stores, the UK’s largest
six-day-a-week outdoor market and
the Norwich Lanes, a bustling area
of distinctive independent shops
and cafes. The compact city centre
with its cobbled streets is a joy to
walk around.

Food and Drink
Norwich has plenty of choice when
it comes to eating out. Japanese,
Thai, Italian and Indian all sit alongside
traditional English restaurants and
pub grub. Celebrity chefs Delia Smith,
Antonio Carluccio and Jamie Oliver
have restaurants in the city. You’ll be
pleased to know that many Norwich
eateries also offer student discount.
The city’s market and shops are
bursting with good food.
Nightlife
Scenery
Norwich has a thriving club and bar scene with new
establishments popping up all the time. There are also a
number of live music venues in the city such as the Norwich
Arts Centre and the Student Union-run Waterfront, as well as
the Nick Rayns LCR on campus.
Norfolk is a unique county with some truly stunning locations. The Norfolk Broads are one of Britain’s most famous wetlands and
the breathtaking coastline of North
Norfolk is fast becoming a regular
Hollywood location. Norfolk is great for exploration whether by train, car,
bike or on foot.
There are hundreds of pubs dotted around Norwich, which
at one time was said to have had a tavern for every day of
the year (and a church for every Sunday). Many pubs host
comedy and quiz nights whilst real-ale fans will not want to
miss the famous Norwich Beer Festival.
I love Norwich. Great city,
but not too big – great pubs
and clubs plus a brilliant live
music and comedy scene
which I got obsessed with.

PRIVATE
If living on campus is your introduction to university life then living off campus often
represents an exhilarating and beneficial entrance into ‘life’ itself. Friendships become
more established, responsibilities are formed and having your own place – and usually
more space – will hopefully strike that perfect balance between study and leisure time.
We have a huge
amount of private rented
accommodation available
in Norwich
You will usually have to source your own accommodation after your first year,
although you may prefer to rent privately from the off. Both options are fine and
no matter what you choose to do we are here to help you along the way.
Norwich has a vibrant and competitive private rental market so finding the right
place in the right location is not normally too problematic. There are several different
options – shared houses, lodgings, student flats and studio apartments – depending
on your budget.
The average rent in Norwich is £270 per person per
calendar month (plus utility bills), depending on the
type and size of the property. If you are a full-time
student not living within University residences, you are
expected to live within a 50km radius of the campus.
The Union of UEA Students operates Home Run
Lettings to help you find safe, comfortable and fairly
priced accommodation with responsible landlords in
Norwich. As well as listing hundreds of properties,
Home Run supplies a free House Hunting Guide
and Union Advice Workers are happy to explain the
implications of contracts before you sign them.
The UEA Student Union also offers a home let service,
a way of renting a property through the Union. Find

How to Apply for
Accommodation
February
Applications for accommodation are made via the
online Accommodation Preference Form (APF) and are
accepted from February onwards. Applicants with an
unconditional or conditional offer who pick us as firm
or insurance choice are prompted to apply
for accommodation.
July – August
Postgraduate Students
36
If you join the University as a postgraduate student,
are eligible and have applied for accommodation, and
have met all your course entry criteria by 31 July, you
are guaranteed accommodation. We will continue to
accept applications for accommodation after this time,
but late applicants will not be guaranteed a room.
Undergraduate Students
Applicants will need to complete an online
Accommodation Preference Form (APF) by 31 July.
After A level results are released, applicants with
conditional offers either have their places confirmed
or rejected by the University. If a course isn’t filled,
available places are advertised and new applications
are accepted via Clearing.
If you join the University as an undergraduate,
are eligible for accommodation and have met all your
course entry criteria
by the date specified in August,
you are guaranteed accommodation. We will continue
to accept applications for accommodation after 31
July, but late applicants will not be guaranteed a room.
Accommodation
Comparison Chart
Main Allocation Period
As soon as the A level results are released and an
applicant formally accepts their offer, the admissions
process is complete. It is at this point, usually during
the week after A level results are announced, that
we can allocate accommodation and you will be
notified of an offer by email. You must respond to
this accommodation offer within the time specified,
normally three days. We will use the email address
you gave on your APF so it is important that you
let us know in good time if you change your email
address. If you do not accept the room offer by the
given deadline the offer, along with any guarantee of
accommodation, is likely to be withdrawn.
September
Arrivals Week
Accommodation offers will specify your arrival date.
Your course may start before arrivals week, if so let
us know. To take up your offer, you must arrive on the
date stated on your licence unless you let us know in
advance – if you do not you may lose your room.
Postgraduate and International Arrivals
If you are a postgraduate or you are coming from
overseas, we have two arrivals days in September.
We organise help with luggage and there will be a
meet and greet service at Heathrow Airport and a
shuttle bus for students arriving at Norwich Airport
on those days.
Home Arrivals
If you are from the UK, you will be asked
to arrive
on either a Saturday or a Sunday, depending on
your allocation and licence start date – so make
sure you keep both days free!
The Accommodation Contract
Before you apply for accommodation in University
residences, you should be aware that you will be
required to sign a contract for your room when
you arrive.
The type of contract we use is a Licence to Occupy,
and we ask you to sign this on your arrival when
you collect your key. The licence sets out your room
number, the exact dates of the licence period and the total licence fee.
