Supporting you

At Essex we support you in making the most of your time at university. We celebrate diversity, challenge inequality and work hard to create a living, learning and working environment that enables you to express your whole self.

We have a range of services geared up to guide you through your university journey - from the moment you arrive, to the day you throw your mortar board in the air, whether you're a mature student, a commuter or living away from home for the first time.

Careers and Employability
Our Careers Services team can provide you with help and advice, as well as the chance to develop your employability.
Data for all
Employers are demanding decisions based on data more than ever. Being comfortable and familiar with using data at work is therefore becoming an essential skill.
Languages for all
Learn a language for free. Our courses are designed to open you up to a world of opportunities. Whether it’s taking your first step towards an international career, or to challenge yourself to something new, our increasingly popular Learn a language courses will enhance your employability and broaden your horizons.
