Concrete's sections include News, Global, Features and Interview, Opinion, Science, Lifestyle, Travel, Food and Drink, and Sport, plus an editorial page and a 'Home of the Wonderful' section (called 'Hey UEA' until 2019) rounding up Media Collective and campus news from social media.

Inside Concrete is Venue, a 24-page culture supplement which includes Art, Books, Fashion, Creative Writing, Music, Gaming, Theatre, Film, and TV.

Previous issues have included interviews with Tony Blair, Nick Clegg, Paul McCartney, Coldplay, Stephen Fry, Michael Palin, Harrison Ford and Max Mosley.

The paper was originally set up independently of both the university and student union, though with the support of the School of English and American Studies.

A number of prominent figures have added their names to the campaign, including Stephen Fry,[3] Sir Norman Lamb,[4] Gina Miller, Steve Brine and Clive Lewis.

By May 2020 UEA launched an opt-in scheme allowing the university to inform a specified person if they have any concerns about the student's welfare, a key aim of Concrete's campaign.

Concrete has previously published annual drugs surveys, house-hunting guides and one-off creative writing supplements with Venue.
