About us

How can we help build your future? That is the question at the heart of everything we do at UEA. We understand you are unique, providing space and opportunities to develop your skills. We want our students to know they are a part of something bigger. To belong, to find your community and your cause. Innovation is our DNA and our beautiful campus, with 320 acres of open space, was designed with a vision: to create the ideal community environment. To build a place where work and life are perfectly balanced. To combine cutting-edge technology spaces for learning and a natural, picturesque habitat. To ensure that productivity and inspiration can thrive. Our students are passionate about making changes whether through research, medicine or discovering lost shipwrecks. We are ranked UK Top 25 (Complete University Guide 2024) and UK Top 30 (The Times/Sunday Times 2024) as well as World Top 300 (QS World University Rankings 2024). Come and find your place with us!

A hub, a home. This is UEA.

Breathe. Take it all in. Just look around you. This is what university should be. A place of vibrant contrasts, UEA was built differently from day one to help foster the minds of tomorrow. A hub and a home, we are designed so living, thinking and ideas can overlap. From a buzzing campus to a safe supportive culture, iconic architecture in acres of beautiful parkland, world-leading research alongside world-class artists, this is us. You’ll feel a part of it from day one and it will stay with you, long after you leave.

What makes us different

Thinking Without Borders is the name we’ve given to the combined projects happening at UEA. It describes our approach to bringing together disciplines in new and exciting ways to address existing and emerging global challenges. We have some of the world’s finest facilities and brightest minds working together every day to discover new ways to change the world for the better. Whether it’s through policy change, research and development of technology, working with organisations like the British Red Cross to get clean water to children, or contributing to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with trusted climate change data. Research at UEA doesn’t happen in isolation – it’s not just teachers and students tinkering with ideas. This is the combination of many departments, organisations, companies, industries, groups and individuals working together and providing real insights and solutions to critical global problems. 

When choosing my university, I wanted to find out everything I could about the ones I was interested in. Going to open days helped me decide that UEA was right for me. Everyone was so friendly, and I love that everything was on campus. There’s a real community feel here.

    I enjoy developing myself as a student, learning new skills and interacting with people. A favorite pastime of mine is reading, especially thrillers but I'm open to other genres as well. I'm originally from India, specifically from Lucknow, the city of Nawabs, and relish trying new foods and connecting with people from different cultures through their traditions :)

    Art History
    In the future I would like to do Marketing for English Heritage of Historic England. At A-Level I studied Photography, History and Business which helped me to narrow down my choices of degree. I enjoy what I study.

  • Alexandra

    University of East Anglia UEA
    Drama
    Hi, I'm Alexandra and I'm a 1st year Drama undergraduate student at UEA. I'm Spanish/Bolivian but have lived most of my life in Bolivia. As someone with a passion for stage and screen, I chose the Drama course at UEA to develop and acquire more skills that would allow me to succeed in my career path. I am particularly passionate about scriptwriting, acting and filmmaking, so in the future, I hope I can dedicate myself to all of them. I was previously studying graphic design in Bolivia, but I decided to apply to UEA to pursue my goals; however, I still dedicate some time to it because I love it. I also enjoy photography (especially nature photography), drawing and painting, writing and dancing.
