Studying in Norwich

Whether you’re a University of East Anglia, Norwich University of the Arts or City College student, there’s plenty of reasons why student life in Norwich is sure to appeal. There’s inspiration around every corner.

Norwich is a city of independence. A city of stories. Our city’s warmth and inclusivity extends far beyond expectations – there’s more to Norwich than meets the eye. Its beating heart is its annual festivals, hidden-away coffee houses and independent bars, and beautiful architecture all year round. If you’re coming here to study, expect the place to charm you. It’s a place where streets morph into green open spaces. A riverside walk will lead you to the football match, and a ring-road roundabout is the entrance to a 26-mile cycle route into beautiful countryside. What better way to spend your weekends than exploring?

Norwich Market is the place to go to update your wardrobe, grab a second-hand book or pick up a delicious lunch. Spend summer evenings with friends in outdoor terraces by the River Wensum at Norwich Playhouse or The Ribs of Beef and cosy up in one of the city’s many pubs during winter. While weeknights are for retro bowling, cocktails, art-house cinema and eating at those enticing places you pass each day. These are good times, where memories are made, and places you’ll return to.

And it doesn’t stop in our centre. On the edge of the city, follow a winding road to Whitlingham Country Park: the perfect spot for water adventures, a picnic or a relaxed stroll. And from our train station, the world’s your oyster. This is where you can reach the coast for fresh fish and chips (from Great Yarmouth to Cromer) and immerse yourself in our beautiful Broads. And beyond? An afternoon excursion into East Anglian countryside, day trip to London or weekend away up north is easy knowing you’ve got Norwich to come home to.
