The University of East Anglia ( University of East Anglia), short UEA, is called a campus university in Norwich in Norfolk, in eastern England. It was founded in 1963 as part of a program to establish new universities by the British government. Today it is one of the most successful of these universities newly established and is included in the list of the best British educational institutions for some time.

History

The first students were temporarily in 1963 in Earlham Hall, about three miles west of the city of Norwich, housed since the university village, which was still used until the early 1980s, was not yet completed at this time. The final campus, designed by Sir Denys Lasdun, was built on the nearby golf course of Earlham. The buildings consist mainly of concrete.

The campus offers a number of architecturally interesting buildings. For example, the main teaching section has the shape of a mound, which runs roughly east-west direction. The oldest residential buildings were constructed in the form of Zikkurattürmen. The original plan had been to build all residential buildings in this form, which had to be abandoned in the early 1970s due to financial cuts, however. Instead, the little charming building of the Waveney Terrace were built.

Mid-70s, was abandoned in the south of the university campus and filled with water, so that a new lake was a former gravel pit. Around the same time could be built with a generous donation from the Sport England Lottery Fund new sports building and a theater. 2001, the sports park was opened, one of the most modern sporting venues in England.

Other notable places on campus, for example, The Square, a central place is circumscribed by concrete stairs. There are also several bars and pubs, banks and a bookstore. The UEA had and has a good reputation in terms of the learned classes. Persons employed by the climate research students were some of the first, which dealt with the phenomenon of global warming.

In addition to the independent student newspaper Concrete there is a thriving landscape of other student magazines and media. Since 1989, there has its own radio station for the University, also in 1968, launched the University television station UTV Nexus is the oldest ongoing student television station in the country.

In 2003, the University had a total of 9,000 so-called undergraduate students and 4000 students who were already graduated. Approximately 1,000 students are from outside the European Union.

General media interest was the hacking incident on climate research center of the University of East Anglia.
