University of Essex

Great experience, smaller university than most but I really enjoyed it because it felt like a tight knit community. The SU facilities were great. The only thing that could be improved is some of the accommodation but I know that is being worked on right now. The lectures within my course were not the best but I think that is dependant on the lecturer and the course

I studied Sports and Exercise Science at this university and graduated last year July (2017). The student satisfaction at this university is second to none, they always went above and beyond especially during exam season. There were tea and coffee angels, a study BBQ and bouncy castle - they were just great. The location of the university also allows you to walk almost everywhere - the town, supermarket and any other places you need. I lived on campus in my first year which was extremely handy and then moved into private housing for my final two years. Overall Essex has been a great university to me and I believe will keep getting better, if any of you see this please do not forget to keep the students as your main priority, we may act like we don't care but we genuinely do brag about you to others! Thank you Essex, you were great to me.

This university is located in a small village and far from Chelmsford station with a poor transport system. the curriculum was okay but mainly this university requires and expects very academic quality and behaviors. Some teachers seemed unwilling to answer students' questions about assignments or make students understand it fully, they told us doing assignments is purely Student's Work that have to sort it out. Most of feedback was unfair and did not make sense, in terms of marking, they are not very generous. sometimes they expect unordinary things in an assessment that they have never taught during the class. sometimes they are obsessed with tiny behavior or unimportant things (eg: using an ink pen instead of a ball pen, cutting a picture with 90 degrees) and it affects marking. some of them were very unkind, unhelpful and unprofessional, felt like they are here to fill the working hours. all the buildings are very old and there are not many suitable rooms for a each of different class. it is hard to expect diversity.

This is a great place to study, live and learn, there is great accommodation on and off campus, a wonderful large library building, 24 Reading rooms, 24 hours labs to study. Waterstones, banks, restaurants, laundromat, tennis courts, football courts, as well as world class gym, sports facilities. The teachers are passionate and invested, here you can learn and grow without ivory towers, but stellar staff and faculty.

UoE has helped and support me in gaining opportunities that have taught me new skills when applying for legal jobs. There is a range of activities to keep you busy throughout the year and schemes that you can join to put on your CV. The staff and students are friendly and the course is difficult but very interesting and rewarding. I would recommend going to this university as it equips you for a legal career.

I started Essex in 2016 for a 3-year undergraduate degree, I loved it so much I began a 1-year postgraduate in 2019. The lecturers are fantastic, so knowledgable and genuinely want to help you succeed. The campus is beautiful and makes you feel lucky to live in such an area. Social activities are a huge highlight of Essex and make it so easy to make amazing friends. Student accommodation is constantly being updated and is a pleasure to live in.
