Norwich has creativity at its heart with several classic music venues, numerous large music and gaming festivals, theatres, media production companies, the headquarters of BBC East, record labels and much, much more. The city is also part of the Cambridge/ Norwich Tech Corridor which generates £28.9 billion a year for the UK economy and makes Norwich a great place to join the tech industry.
Access Creative College Norwich is on Magdalen Street at the edge of the busy city centre, on the same site as the renowned performance space and TV Studios, Epic Studios. Creatives gravitate to the area, so it’s an ideal place to refine your skills for the future while also getting in some networking. To help you get your foot in the door, we have partnerships with key local events like Latitude and Brighten the Corners. If tech is more your speed, you’re surrounded by tech hubs that form the aforementioned Tech Corridor and are a commutable distance away.
