University life

Your time at Norwich University of the Arts will be an unforgettable experience. You’ll meet people who inspire you and visit places that feed your creative imagination. You’ll learn and develop, exploring your passion and discovering new things about yourself.

Inspiring surroundings

Our campus is a vibrant and creative hub in the heart of Norwich’s cultural quarter, nestled amongst an exciting cluster of galleries and museums, cafes and bars, independent and high street shops.

Our own city centre gallery space, East Gallery, showcases the best modern and contemporary art. You’ll find everything here you need to thrive artistically and creatively.

Home is where the art is

As well as being a city with an intoxicating blend of heritage, history and exciting contemporary atmosphere, Norwich is also ranked in the top 10 safest towns and cities for students.

Whether you choose to live in our newly-opened Duke Street Riverside residences, high-spec All Saints Green halls in the heart of the city, a short bus ride from campus at Beechcroft, or in private rental accommodation, you’ll feel right at home.

Equipped for success

You’ll hone your practice working in dedicated studios and fully equipped workshops that have been designed to help you build specialist knowledge and flourish in your chosen discipline.

You’ll have access to an array of cutting-edge and industry equipment throughout your studies.

Our employability team, who deliver a specialist creative careers service and will help you develop skills that make you stand out, can be found in Ideas Factory — our creative agency, which provides opportunities for students to work on real-world commercial projects with local, national, and international organisations.
