Facilities
The University of Essex has significantly expanded SRES state-of-the-art facilities
for research and education since the opening of our new facility in January 2018 with
further renovation in Summer 2021. We are a dynamic, research-active school,
consisting of emerging and world-leading researchers with an international
reputation for cutting-edge research.

Our four research clusters explore basic science questions alongside projects with
strong societal impact. The groups have received funding from a range of prestigious
organisations such as the Economic and Social Research Council, Academy of
Medical Sciences, Leverhulme Trust, National Institute for Health Research,
International Olympic Committee, World Anti-Doping Agency, Union of European
Football Associations, Sport England, England Cricket Board, Royal Ballet, Rugby
Football Union, British Heart Foundation and Chartered Society of Physiotherapy
Charitable Trust.
Reputation
We have an outstanding reputation for both education and research. We were
ranked in the top 25 for Sports Science in the Times Good University Guide 2023,
and 23rd in the UK for research power in sport and exercise sciences (Times Higher

Whatever your path, you'll find an active and engaged community of sport, exercise
