Three of our graduates - Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro and Anne Enright - have won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction. Alumnus Sir Paul Nurse won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2001 and over 20 of our environmental scientists shared with Al Gore the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. UEA contributed more than any other university to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The Independent says our Student Union gig roster is "like pop music's roll of honour, with the biggest names performing each year and other students' unions wondering how on earth they manage it".

7. Visual arts
We are home to the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, described by the Times University Guide as "perhaps the greatest resource of its type on any university campus". The collection combines works from famous western artists with fine and applied arts from around the globe all in an iconic building.

We top the Independent and Complete University Guide league table for sports facilities. Our Sportspark is the biggest indoor sports centre in Britain and has an Olympic-sized pool, climbing wall, athletics track, gym and an extensive range of sports and leisure activities.
