Andrew Wilks
Second-year student, BSc Business and Service Industry Management
After transferring to Essex from another university, I was apprehensive
about how I would settle into a new environment. After looking around the
University for the first time, I realised I had nothing to worry about.
With visions of a future career in the service industry in management, the
choice to study the degree was simple, and having lived in the area before I
knew that the location was not going to be a problem.
As a student, whether you are simply shopping on the High Street or on a
night out clubbing, you feel equally accepted as part of the community in
Southend. My first year studies have been hugely enjoyable and rewarding. I have
especially liked the module Business Economics as it has given me the
opportunity to expand on the knowledge I learnt and enjoyed at A-level.
The lectures and seminars have enabled me to establish friendly relationships
with my lecturers and tutors, and have created the ideal environment for me to
continue with my studies.
