The University of Essex: A Brief Introduction

Essex provides a home for the daring and the bold, for those brave enough to have big ideas and generous enough to share them.

At Essex you’re taught by world-leading academics in a supportive and research-intensive environment. Our ground-breaking research continues to change the world for the better and we’re proud to be placed in the top 5 in the UK for social science. We offer a range of undergraduate degrees in areas such as politics, biological science, business, law, computer science and many more.

Most importantly, our students love us – we were voted 2nd in the UK for student satisfaction.

Whether you study in the beautiful historic parkland of our Colchester Campus, the bustling and lively town centre of Southend-on-Sea, or in our stately home at Loughton, our lively and supportive community of over 12,000 students from more than 130 countries means you can enjoy the world in one place.

So if you’re up for a challenge, love to ask difficult questions, and want to make a real difference, come and join our unique family of students, staff and graduates.
