Accessibility
The University is committed to promoting a positive attitude to disabled people and to creating the conditions in which all students and visitors can participate fully in the social and recreational life of the University.
The campus is generally accessible, although wheelchair users may have to take an alternative route. When on campus, accessible routes are marked by orange lines on the ground.
You can find accessibility information for facilities on campus by using the campus map. Click the small arrow at the bottom of the page (on mobile) and tick ‘Accessibility’ to view further information.

Car parking
Our Main Car Park (P1 on the campus map) is controlled by an ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system. Charges are collected by pay-on-foot machines in the Main Car Park. On the rest of the campus, they are collected by Pay & Display
Our payment machines are card/contactless only. Cash payment for the main car park can be processed at The Lodge between 8am-5pm.
The Main Car Park costs a flat fee of £1 after 6pm. We would recommend that you do not arrive before 6pm or you will be charged for the 2-hours previous. There is a 5-minute grace period before 6pm in the Main Car Park.
You can find full visitor parking information here on the website.
There are disabled parking spaces for Blue Badge holders across the UEA campus. If you have specific requirements or want to make specific arrangements, please contact transport@uea.ac.uk.
Please note that parking on campus is extremely limited and we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of those travelling to and from campus. Where possible please walk, cycle, or use public transport.
Travelling by bus
There are two buses that run from Norwich city centre (with stops at the train station) to UEA – the number 25 and number 26 buses. Both bus routes run frequently throughout the evening, and we recommend that you consider travelling to and from UEA by bus, especially as pressure on our main car park can be considerable during the evenings.
