We are your student-led organisation, here to ensure that your university experience at UEA is the best it can be. And the best part? If you are starting a degree or postgraduate course here, you’ll automatically become a new member of UEASU.
Our Student Officers
We are led by student officers, who are democratically elected by a ballot of all UEA students each year – meaning we change every year, as the student body evolves. These student officers are guided by the policies that students make through referendums and through a representative body called union council.
The elected officers act as advocates to the University, to the city of Norwich and nationally to the Government for the students at UEA. They represent students on a large and diverse set of issues, and lead campaigns to create positive change and allow students to shape their educational experience.
Our Staff
We employ around 60 members of full-time career staff and 500 part-time student staff to look after the day-to-day operations of the su. From providing students with professional support and advice on academic, welfare and housing issues, to running and supporting the over 60 Sports Clubs and 160 Student Societies the su is home to, each member of staff plays a vital role in keeping the su running.
Our Venues & Events
Our commercial services are aimed at students, but open to anyone. We have 3 on-campus bars, including our LGBTQ+ bar, Dorothy’s. Alongside this, we run 2 music venues.
The LCR is our 1550 capacity on-campus venue, which has hosted acts such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Manic Street Preachers and Kasabian, and is home to our student-only club nights.
The Waterfront is our 2-storey venue in the city centre, which has seen the likes of Nirvana, Arctic Monkeys and Amy Winehouse, and hosts our weekly alternative club night, Meltdown.
