About

Our values

Two vertical blue banners, the left says "Be Tenacious, Curious, Bold, Daring" and the right says "Essex". There is a grey sky, trees and the top of a building in the background.

The University of Essex is proud of its inclusivity and its international community.

Our campuses are welcoming places where everyone can feel they belong and where you can find the world in one place. We hold our values dear and expect everyone in our community to uphold them through their behaviour and through their actions.

Our manifesto
Our manifesto captures the spirit of Essex – where curiosity, ambition, and action come together to make a difference.
Equality, diversion and inclusion
We celebrate diversity and challenge inequality, and we respect, support and encourage one another through our values, our words and, most importantly, our actions.
Academic freedom and freedom of speech
We value academic freedom, freedom of expression and inclusion. Read more about our approach and the policies that underpin this.
UN Global Impact
As an active member of the UN Global Compact we're part of the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.
Modern slavery and human trafficking
We are committed to protecting and respecting human rights. We ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not happening as part of our operations or in the supply chain.
