Just two miles from the centre of the cathedral city of Norwich, the University is adjacent to the Norwich Research Park which is home to over 1,000 scientists working in several world ranked institutions.

The UEA values of collaboration, empowerment, respect and ambition are what unite us and are at the heart of how we behave as an employer, drive excellence in teaching, learning and research, and collaborate as an anchor institution in our local community.

We build connections, share ideas and develop new networks; trust our people to make decisions based on their expertise and knowledge; treat everyone equally, embracing different thoughts and views and strive to be bold in our approach and decisions.

We are equally proud of our civic responsibility in our local and regional community tackling issues such as social mobility, building a more sustainable economy and championing diversity. Our regional, national and global relationships demonstrate that together we can achieve greater goals together and positively influence the world around us.

The University is located in 320 acres of rolling parkland and no part of the campus is more than a few
minutes’ walk from anywhere else, so everything is close at hand – the library, nursery, health centre, supermarket (incorporating a post office), banking facilities and restaurants. Amongst the striking buildings is the UEA’s Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, which contains the Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Collection – one of the greatest art collections
formed in Europe during the Century. The University has invested in new learning and teaching and research spaces, including a celebrated new Enterprise Centre that underpins its commitment to promoting student enterprise and entrepreneurship.

Sport and Recreation plays a major part in the life of the University of East Anglia, centred around the major Sports park facility which is one of the most successful community sport facilities in the UK. This accessible and affordable facility provides a diverse range of activities, and incorporates a 50m Olympic size swimming pool, indoor climbing wall, coaching resource centre and sports injury clinic.
