Excellence in education
University of the Year?
You've helped us secure a place on the shortlist for University of the Year at the Times Higher Education Awards - the most prestigious awards in the sector.
Our students, graduates and staff are the secret to our success as we've carved out a distinctive path for Essex which inspired the judging panel.
We're going from strength to strength - welcoming record number of students this academic year and also attracting record levels of research funding.
Online registration is open
Don't forget, all returning students need to register at the start of each academic year. Contact the Student Services Hub if you have any questions.
