The University of Suffolk is a public university situated in Suffolk and Norfolk, England. The university was established in 2007 as University Campus Suffolk (UCS), founded as a collaboration between the University of East Anglia and the University of Essex.[2] The university's current name was adopted after it was granted independence in 2016 by the Privy Council and was awarded university status.[3][4][5][6]
The University of Suffolk is spread over four campuses: a central hub in Ipswich and campuses located in Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth (the latter in Norfolk, not Suffolk) focusing on foundation courses .[7] The university operates six academic faculties and in 2022/23 had 9,565 students. Of the total, 8% are identified as international students, 53% as mature students, and 66% of the university's students are female.[8]
The university secured the 8th place among UK universities in the "Course and Lecturers" category according to the WhatUni Student Choice Awards 2019.[9]
The current chancellor of the University of Suffolk is Helen Pankhurst, great-granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst, who is a scholar and writer.[10]
