Event update

As part of our enhanced protection measures surrounding COVID-19, all Applicant Days are cancelled. If you are a prospective student who was invited to an Applicant Day, please check your emails for further information from us.

If you have applied for one of the following subjects, we will be in contact with you directly with regards to rearranging your interview to be conducted via video call: Nursing, Oral Health Science, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Social Work, Physiotherapy and French Law.

For all other subjects, your interview is non-compulsory and has therefore been cancelled. We will be in touch to offer a visit to our Campus when we are back up and running and we’ll look forward to meeting you then.

You can contact the Recruitment Events Team at applicantdays@essex.ac.uk
