Learn More →University Overview
Norwich University of the Arts dates from 1845, when artists associated with the Norwich School of Painters set up the Norwich School of Design to train designers for local industry. Known from 1994 as Norwich School of Art and Design, the institution gained a new name in 2008, Norwich University College of the Arts, together with the power to award degrees as far as master's level. The Privy Council conferred university title in 2012. Its compact campus consists of around a dozen buildings in the cultural quarter of central Norwich, among them the Duke Street Riverside building, which opened in 2021. The great majority of its roughly 3,000 students are undergraduates.
Learning is project-led and based in the studio, with assessment made through creative output instead of examinations. Architecture, animation, film, games, fashion, fine art, photography, illustration, graphic design and performance make up the core subject range, which now also extends to marketing, psychology, business and computing. At postgraduate level the university offers master's degrees and research up to doctorate. Keith Chapman, who created Bob the Builder, and the painter Sir Alfred Munnings are among its alumni.
Information for International Students
Overseas applicants are advised by the International Recruitment team. Undergraduates may apply via UCAS or straight to the university, whereas postgraduates always apply directly. A portfolio is central to most applications, but it is not required for certain programmes, such as games development, computer science and business management. In general, applicants need IELTS for UKVI at 6.0 overall and no skill below 5.5, and successful completion of an approved pre-sessional course, such as Oxford International's online programme, also meets the requirement. Many degrees offer an integrated foundation year.
After firmly accepting an offer, students may apply for housing and start the CAS process for their Student visa, with webinars offering help in getting ready to move to the UK. New undergraduates are guaranteed accommodation if they select Norwich as their firm choice on UCAS and submit a housing application ahead of the priority deadline. During Welcome Week, activities help newcomers settle into a student community drawn from over 40 countries. International scholarships come in a broad range of values, and graduates meeting the eligibility criteria can apply for the Graduate Route.
Intake Information
Intake information is provided as a general guide. Start dates vary between universities and courses, and not every course is offered at every intake. Please follow the UCAS deadlines for undergraduate applications and check the latest dates on the official Norwich University of the Arts website.
Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Norwich University of the Arts is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Norwich University of the Arts may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
