The University of Suffolk began in 2007 as University Campus Suffolk (UCS). It was started by two other universities, the University of East Anglia and the University of Essex, working together. In 2016, the university became independent and was officially renamed the University of Suffolk.

The university has four main teaching areas, called Schools, which cover a wide range of subjects: the School of Allied Health Sciences, the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Public Health, the School of Social Sciences and Humanities, and the School of Technology, Business and Arts.

The University of Suffolk focuses on the student. Class sizes are often smaller than at older universities, so your lecturers can give you more personal help and support. The teaching focuses on practical, real-world experience and research, making sure your courses are useful for getting a job today.
