About

History

The University of East Anglia was established in 1963 in Norwich, UK and is designed like a mini-city, balancing the calm of nature with the excitement of a city. In 2006, UEA partnered with INTO to help international students study at the campus. Together, they created unique courses that help overseas students get accustomed to British life and improve their English language and academic skills.
