About University of Essex

The University of Essex is a school where curiosity prevails, and where exploring new ways of thinking and pushing boundaries, isn’t just encouraged, it’s expected. The University of Essex was named University of the Year at the Times Higher Education Awards 2018 for their determination to do things differently and put student success at the centre of everything they do.

Essex boasts a massive 350-mile coastline, the 2nd longest of any county in England. There’s plenty to explore across the county, from countryside walks to award-winning beaches. Students can even try a plate of freshly caught oysters, or take a boat trip from Walton-on-the Naze to see the local seals! There’s lots for students to explore, and it is just a short train ride from London. This makes it great for students because they can enjoy being near the capital, but with a lower cost of living.

Join a bold and brilliant community of learning at the University of Essex, home to radical thinking and challenging ideas since the 1960s!
