University of East Anglia

HISTORY

The University of East Anglia (abbreviated as UEA) is an English public research university located in the city of Norwich. Established in 1963, the university comprises four faculties and 26 schools of study. Situated to the south-west of the city of Norwich, the university campus is approximately 320 acres (130 hectares) in size.

In national league tables the university has most recently been ranked 15th in the UK by The Times and Sunday Times and 14th by The Complete University Guide. The university also ranks among the top 3 for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey, when considering mainstream English universities. It is the only institution to rank in the top 5 since the survey began. The university also ranks in the world top 1% according to the Times Higher Education World Rankings (2015/16) and within the World Top 100 for research excellence in the Leiden Ranking (2016).

Attempts had been made to establish a university in Norwich in 1919 and 1947, but due to a lack of government funding on both occasions the plans had to be postponed. The University of East Anglia was eventually given the green light in April 1960, and opened its doors in October 1963 to biological sciences and English studies students. Initially, teaching took place in the temporary “University Village”.
