Study with us

"The atmosphere at Essex is really welcoming and I felt settled in straight away. This has made the transition from school to university really easy." Student Satisfaction Survey 2010

Support

We have a great reputation for the strong student support network in our Department, and this is an area that is consistently highlighted by our students in satisfaction surveys.

We want to make sure you have the best experience while studying with us. All our staff are extremely helpful and approachable and you can talk to them about any issues you may have relating to your course. The office staff are also on hand to help guide you in the right direction, especially when first coming to Essex.

Student Support can offer advice on funding, debt, welfare issues and employment and visa issues for International Students. It also includes the Disability Team for information and advice on academic support for those with a disability, and provides access to professional counsellors through the Counselling Service.

97% of our students were satisfied with their time studying in our Department, testimony to the dedication we have for learning and teaching.

The Students' Union Advice Centre gives advice on such matters as money management, housing contracts and problems, legal issues and visa renewals.

There is also a University of Essex counselling service where you can make an appointment and speak to a professional counsellor.
