Essex is a global community of students from around the world, representing a huge diversity of nationalities, cultures and faiths across our three campuses.
Over one third of our students are from outside the UK and the international atmosphere on campus truly feels like the world in one place.
Our campuses reflect our truly global student population and offer a home from home to our international students.
There are networks, societies, events and activities to suit all communities and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment whatever your nationality, race, faith, gender, sexual orientation, or access requirements.
We offer an international education that broadens the horizons of our students through opportunities to network or volunteer with our global partners.
Our study abroad scheme allows students the chance to immerse themselves in another culture through an exchange or summer placement.
At Essex we value and respect diversity and, through our student charter, all members of our university community pledge to behave in ways that strengthen and support that community.
All of our under-represented student communities have access to advice and support to help them achieve their full potential:
