Campus tours
Book a campus tour
If you cannot make one of our open days, then why not book a campus tour at another
time? E-mail us and we can arrange for a student ambassador to show you around,
answering your questions about living and learning at our University.
We understand that choosing a university for your undergraduate or postgraduate studies is a new experience for you, so would be happy to arrange a campus tour with a current Essex student for you.
Our campus tours mean you can see our award-winning accommodation, outstanding facilities and attractive campuses, while getting answers to any questions you have about life at Essex.
