The University of East Anglia (UEA) has been ranked 12th by The Times Good University Guide 2017 and 14th by The Complete University Guide 2019.

Located in 320 acres of rolling parkland but 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.

A total of 15,178 full-time students are currently studying at the University, 12,118 undergraduates and 3,060 postgraduates.

More than 1,500 staff are academic (including 370 researchers) and the rest are administrative, technical or general staff.

Founded in 1963 and located on a single campus (the \"Campus\") on the western fringe of Norwich, the University is ranked as one of the United Kingdom's foremost higher education and research institutions enjoying an international reputation for excellence in many of its disciplines.

In October 2003 the core buildings of the Campus were Grade II and Grade II* Listed and, in 2006 the ground breaking Conservation Development Strategy received formal support from the Norwich City Planning Committee.
