University of East Anglia UEA Clearing

Located in the UK's best place to live (Sunday Times, BBC), The University of East Anglia's stunning and vibrant Norwich campus is home to a global community. Offering a wide variety of subjects to study within modern learning facilities, faculty and wellbeing staff work hard to support and encourage our students to be their best selves and thrive. Accommodation is available both on and off campus to cater for individual living preferences and styles. Outside of the classroom, find your people at one (or many!) of our hundreds of societies and clubs, from burlesque to conservation.
