INTO is part of University of East Anglia, a campus university just 15 minutes from the centre of Norwich. It offers a friendly and safe environment for studying and living. Situated in 130 hectares of parkland, with its own lake, the campus combines natural beauty and striking architecture. Built in the 1960s, the University, including Sir Norman Foster's famous Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts, has won many awards for its innovative design. The University is home to the British Centre for Literary Translation, where much research is carried out on translation theory and practice. University of East Anglia also has one of the country's top rated film studies departments.
The campus has all the essentials for daily living including banks, a supermarket,
