Insight Days

Our Insight Days give students the chance to explore life at Essex beyond the prospectus. They’ll experience academic taster sessions, get a feel for our campus, and begin to picture what university could look like for them. Each Insight Day will run from 9.45am to 2.35pm.

Insight Days are open to those in Years 10 to 13, helping students make informed decisions, no matter where they are in their planning

We're currently finalising the details for our Winter Insight Day and will update this page with more information as soon as it becomes available. Please do get in touch with us if you have any questions about the event in the meantime, we'd love to hear from you. 

Why Attend

Our Insight Days provide prospective students with an informative experience that helps them make confident decisions about their next steps. Don’t just take our word for it. Take a look at the feedback we’ve received.

• Brilliant range of subjects available. All of our students gave positive feedback, and the students found the practical elements really engaging.

• Fantastic lectures, inspiring content. If this doesn’t inspire students to consider higher education or Essex, then I don’t know what will!

• There was excellent communication prior to the event.

We are excited to offer a Taster Day Bursary for school groups attending this event!* School groups bringing 10 or more post-16 students can claim up to £150 towards their travel expenses.

Students under the age of 16, attending as individuals, will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

If you would like to access our Faith Centre while on campus, please let the event organiser know.

*Please note, this offer is not available in conjunction with the Schools Membership travel bursary.
