The University of Essex is concentrating research and education on its two campuses in Colchester and Loughton.
As part of the plans, the Southend Campus closed at the end of August with all courses moving across to the Colchester Campus.
As all students have now transferred to the Colchester Campus, we will not be maintaining this FAQ page.
Southend has played an important part in the University’s story, but focusing our teaching, research and student services on fewer sites will give our University a consolidated platform for the future. This will enable us to better respond to the needs of our students.
Our Vice-Chancellor Professor Frances Bowen talks about our legacy of changing lives in Southend in her blog.
She said: "Although our Southend Campus is closing, our relationship with the city continues. Hundreds of students from Southend choose to study at our Colchester and Loughton campuses each year, and the vast majority of existing Southend campus students are now transferring across to complete their studies at our Colchester campus.
"We also remain committed to supporting young people through our outreach work with schools and colleges, as well as helping local businesses and organisations to innovate and grow. As we consolidate our activities onto two campuses to place the University on a more sustainable footing for the future, we must not lose sight of what has been achieved in Southend.
"For more than two decades, we have changed lives through education, opportunity, creativity, and community engagement, and we can be immensely proud of that record. We will proudly carry that legacy forward in the years ahead."
