Located in rolling parkland, and just two miles from the centre of the beautiful cathedral city of Norwich, the University is part of the Norwich Research Park which is home to over 1,000 scientists working in several world ranked institutions. The city’s motto is “A fine city” and its strong cultural heritage has seen Norwich maintain the best of its historical character whilst developing to become one of the most vibrant and attractive cities in Europe. The city is surrounded by beautiful countryside and within easy reach of the stunning Norfolk coast. A wide variety of visitors come to the region every year to enjoy boating on the Broads, the protected nature and wildlife habitats, as well as seaside towns and beaches.

The glass front overlooks the colourful open-air market (one of the largest in the country) and reflects the city in all its diversity. The city is consistently rated as one of the top ten shopping venues in the UK.
