The Big e:
Make the most of your essex
experience
As you settle into your new life as a student at the University you will
start to notice the ‘Big e’ around campus. You’ll see it on posters,
in emails, and hear it in conversation. But what exactly is it?
What does it mean, and why is it so important?
The Big e is many things.
It’s all the extra stuff you get from
university life on top of your degree. Wherever you see the Big e
there will be an opportunity to gain valuable
experience and
develop crucial skills that will ultimately make you more employable! Don’t

you explore that too.
Plus you can get university recognition for all your extra-curricular
activity through the Big e
Awards.
