Why Essex?
As a postgraduate at Essex, you’ll receive a high quality education
being taught, supported and supervised by our academics who are world leaders in
their fields. We enjoy an international reputation for the quality of our
research and were rated ninth in the UK in the most recent Research Assessment
Exercise (RAE, 2008).
Our postgraduates form a lively and supportive 3,000-strong community.
Our staff provide one-to-one guidance and our postgraduate programmes equip you
with the skills demanded by today’s employers in a highly competitive world. In
the 2011 Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey, of all our taught postgraduates
who responded, 90 per cent said their overall experience of their course at
Essex had met or exceeded their expectations.
Our three campuses in Colchester, Loughton and Southend enjoy excellent
transport links and all are less than an hour from London. We currently have
over 11,000 students, from over 130 countries, studying for an Essex degree.
