Come and join us

You can apply to Essex through Clearing by giving us a call on the Clearing hotline or using our webform. Both will be available once Clearing opens in July.

Check out our available courses and make sure you have your grades to hand when you get in touch. If you have made a UCAS application this year, have your UCAS number ready too.

If you have the necessary qualifications at the required level, we can take your Clearing application over the phone.

And if we're not able to make an immediate offer, your application will be passed to an Undergraduate Admissions Selector and you will then receive a decision from us via email or by phone.
