Semester Exchange - University of East Anglia

The University of East Anglia (UEA) is an internationally renowned university based in a campus that provides top quality academic, social and cultural facilities to a population of around 18,000 students. UEA is ranked in the top 25 UK universities with gold-standard teaching (Teaching Excellence Framework 2017-20). As well as offering brilliant teaching and research, this uniquely-placed University is also a leading member of Norwich Research Park, one of Europe's biggest concentrations of researchers in the fields of environment, health and plant science. UEA is a truly international university: it is home to 3,500 international students, from more than 100 countries, creating a community and atmosphere where diversity thrives.

UEA’s campus is located in over 300 acres of rolling parkland just two miles from the centre of the cathedral city of Norwich, England’s first UNESCO City of Literature. Norwich is one of the best places to live in the UK (The Sunday Times, 2018) and is one of the top 10 safest places to be a student in England and Wales (The Telegraph, 2016). Norwich is also one of the most affordable student cities in the UK (NatWest Student Living Index 2018) – just one of the many reasons why it’s a great place to study!
