A friendly, safe and diverse place to live that combines history and modernity, Norwich is a vibrant city with plenty to do and see. Whether you’re after live music, art, or award-winning restaurants, there is something for everyone. Easy to explore on foot, and with a beautiful river at its heart, you won’t be short of things to discover while making it your own. Less than two hours away from London by train, and with great transport links, you’ll never be far from home.
When making your university choice, it’s not only important to find the right course and place for you, but to also consider the practicalities of what you can afford. Norwich is often regarded as being an affordable place to live as a student but it’s important to budget accurately. Take a look at our Cost of Living page to find out more.
As well being a more affordable place to live as a student, we have a wide variety of university accommodation. Rooms on campus, in the heart of the city, or close by to campus - we really do have something for everyone. If we are able to offer you a place in Clearing, we will also be able to offer you guaranteed accommodation, as long as you select us as your preferred choice and complete all the relevant forms by our deadline.

Whether it’s the quality teaching they have received, or the learning resources or facilities we provide, our students rate us on their satisfaction each year as part of the National Student Survey (NSS).
Many of our courses feature an industry placement or study abroad option which can make you stand out to prospective employers and build a network of lifetime connections, both personal and professional.
A work placement will enable you to gain industry experience (and sometimes get paid as well), while demonstrating your talents to businesses and building up your CV.
Similarly, studying abroad broadens your horizons, allowing you to enhance your academic experience by offering a wider range of study options and learning valuable skills including foreign languages. You can find out more about our 200 partnerships on our website.

In addition to high-quality courses, we have an excellent careers service that is on hand to offer help and advice with writing a CV, preparing for interviews, and discussing next steps in planning for your career. They also advertise both paid and voluntary roles around Norwich and even further afield that can allow you to develop your experience whilst studying, as well as holding regular events that provide an opportunity to network with industry professionals.
