The University of East Anglia is a public research university in Norwich, England. Founded in 1963 on a 320-acre (130-hectare) campus west of the city center, the university has four faculties and 26 schools of study.
The university’s annual income for 2020–21 was £292.1 million, of which £35.2 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £290.4 million, and had an undergraduate offer rate of 85.1% in 2021.
The University of East Anglia was eventually given the green light in April 1960 for biological sciences and English studies students. At first, teaching took place in the temporary University Village, which was officially opened by chairman of the University Grants Committee, Keith Murray, on 29 September 1963.
Moreover, sited on the opposite side of the Earlham Road to the present campus, this was a collection of prefabricated structures designed for 1200 students, laid out by the local architectural firm Feilden and Mawson.
In 1961, the first vice-chancellor, Frank Thistlethwaite, had approached Denys Lasdun, a supporter of the New Brutalist trend in architecture, who was at that time building Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, to produce designs for the permanent campus.
In 2013, the university celebrated its 50th anniversary, ranking Number 1 in the Times Higher Education Magazine Student Experience league table. It was in this year that the University of East Anglia also launched its first free Massive open online course (MOOC) in cooperation with Future Learn.
In 2014, the University of East Anglia opened its most environmentally-friendly building yet, Crome Court, which has won a number of awards for sustainability. Also in 2014 part of the campus was used for location filming as the Avengers new HQ during filming of the Avengers: Age of Ultron.
The postgraduate Master of Arts in creative writing, founded by Sir Malcolm Bradbury and Sir Angus Wilson in 1970, is regarded as the most respected in the United Kingdom, and admission to the program is competitive.
The course has gone on to produce a number of distinguished authors, including Sir Kazuo Ishiguro, Ian McEwan, Anne Enright, Tash Aw, Andrew Miller, Owen Sheers, Tracy Chevalier, Trezza Azzopardi, Panos Karnezis and Suzannah Dunn.
In addition, the German émigré novelist W. G. Sebald also taught in the School of Literature and Creative Writing, and established the British Centre for Literary Translation, until his death in a car accident in 2001.
