Christmas closure

The university is closed from Friday 23rd December, and we will return on Tuesday 3rd January 2023.

Security will be on site throughout the Christmas period and accessible via the Waterfront Building Reception - dial 01473 338999. If you are in need of emergency services, urgent medical or mental health support, please contact the emergency services by dialling 999 or call NHS 111.

We hope you stay safe and well during Christmas 2022 – here are some top tips from the Mental Health Foundation.

You can also:  

  • Text SHOUT to 85258 for text support with a trained volunteer

  • Call the NHS first response by dialling 111 and select option 2 to access immediate advice, support and signposting for people experiencing mental health difficulties or to speak with a mental health professional. This is only available if you live in Norfolk or Suffolk.

In term time, all University services are operating in person on campus as well as remotely.
