Student life

We're dedicated to giving everyone a transformational student experience.

  • Our friendly Student Support teams will be there to help our students, from their first point of contact at our Student Information Desks (SiD) to student money advice, one-to-one mental-health support and guidance, and personal academic tutoring.
  • We are proud of our vibrant, diverse academic community and, with students from over 100 countries, we're also an international community, helping our students to build a global perspective and enrich their understanding of other cultures and communities.
  • We care about the world our students will inherit and we are proud to rank 1st in England in the People & Planet 2022/23 University Green League, putting environmental sustainability at the heart of our planning and actions.

The East of England is made up of five counties and cities like Luton, Norwich, and Cambridge. Made famous by its namesake university, picturesque Cambridge attracts droves of visitors, with graduates including Stephen Hawking and Emma Thompson.

Branch out and you’ll find Europe’s equivalent to Silicon Valley – Silicon Fen – a burgeoning hub for big tech players and software start-ups.

This corner of England has a star-studded history, too. Iconic movies like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and The Shining were shot at Elstree Studios in Essex. Meanwhile, the University of East Anglia served as Avengers HQ in multiple Marvel movies.
