The summer school will be located on the campus of the University of East Anglia in the beautiful country of Norfolk on the edge of one of the great historic cathedral cities.  Norwich Cathedral and Norwich Castle, dominating the city, are the reminders of the city’s long and fascinating history, which from the Middle Ages until the Industrial Revolution was the largest city in England after London, and one of the most important.

Norwich is one of the safest and friendliest cities in the UK with its main attractions within a short walk of the city centre. The city centre is easily accessible by a frequent public bus service and local taxi companies offer reasonable prices between campus and the city centre.

UEA Campus is set within 320 acres of beautiful, rolling countryside. The Sportspark and the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts give visitors the chance to play sports in England’s largest indoor facility and view spectacular art in a world-renowned museum.
