The University of Suffolk is a public university in England. It officially began in 2007 under the name University Campus Suffolk (UCS). At the start, it was a partnership between two well-known universities, the University of East Anglia and the University of Essex. In 2016, the institution became completely independent and took its current name, the University of Suffolk.

The university has four main study areas: Health Sciences; Nursing and Public Health; Social Sciences and Humanities; and Technology, Business, and Arts. A big advantage here is that classes are often small. This means your teachers can give you more attention and personal help. The university focuses on hands-on experience and research, so you acquire the exact skills you need for your job after graduation.
