Edge Hotel School

Leading the way in hospitality

The Edge Hotel School at the University of Essex provides industry-led hospitality and events management degrees with hands-on experience in a real 4* hotel on the campus. 

This unique experience provides students with the best of both worlds - which is why the Edge Hotel School is rated 1st in the UK for student satisfaction in our subject area in the National Student Survey 2020.

We have a diverse academic community where different levels of industry-relevant experience and academic expertise are brought together by shared passions and interests.

Wivenhoe House, a striking 4* country house hotel on the University of Essex Colchester campus, is where students and professional staff come together to learn and deliver exceptional service.  

If you don’t want to be spoon-fed a degree, if you want to gain the real experience you need to succeed, if you want to make the industry connections and get ahead, welcome home.
