University Campus Suffolk (UCS)

UCS is a new kind of institution – one that allows you to access the knowledge and resources of a range of partners along with our two validating universities, Centres throughout Suffolk and beyond, and the wider community. 

Whilst UCS does not own or manage the accommodation recommended to our students, we do have a close working relationship with the landlords and property managers. All of the accommodation is surveyed by the local council to ensure it meets our high standards of quality and safety, before we will recommend it to our students.

Our two validating universities, the University of East Anglia and the University of Essex, established UCS in 2007, working with Great Yarmouth College, Lowestoft College, Otley College, Suffolk New College and West Suffolk College.

UCS offers an attractive portfolio of courses within the Faculty of Arts, Business and Applied Social Science and the Faculty of Health and Science. Degrees range from Foundation, Honours and Postgraduate, to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses. UCS currently employs around 200 academics who ensure the institution continues to provide students with a high quality and innovative teaching and learning experience.

The two Faculties are supported by the Offices of Academic Development and Research and Enterprise. Support to the Faculties is also provided by the Directorates of Academic Services, Estates, External Relations and Marketing, Information Technology and Planning and Partnerships.

UCS is close to London, a number of international airports and Harwich Ferry Terminal perfectly connecting places across the UK.
