You'll learn new skills in workshops and enjoy some friendly rivalry in The Battle of the Consoles. There'll also be whole host of University of Essex and Students' Union events which you'll get points for by just turning up.
Finally, the top ten departments will face off against each other in The Final Showdown after which one will be crowned as the best department on campus.
