Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at University of Essex

MSc Sport and Exercise Psychology

Del - October 2026

best - social life/bar
worst - expensive read full review

PhD Biological Sciences

UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX

Kristina - October 2026

Best: Supervision has been excellent, and the interdisciplinary setup lets me work across Life Sciences and Sociology without feeling boxed into one department. The Leverhulme Doctoral Training Programme gives a strong research community and good training. Being in Colchester, close to the coast and estuaries, is ideal for fieldwork. There are also plenty of chances to get involved in how the university is run, including through student representative roles.

Worst: The ongoing restructure and staff cuts have put real pressure on departments, and you can feel it in admin support and in uncertainty about which courses will continue. Systems can be slow and clunky, and postgraduate students sometimes feel like an afterthought next to undergraduates. read full review

MSc Biotechnology

Dira Patricia - October 2026

everyone is so nice and welcoming read full review

MSc Behavioural and Experimental Economics

UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX

Esther - October 2026

The best about the university is how welcoming is for international students. The staff make you feel you truly belong here and they also have activities for every student at any level. At the beginning is a little bit complicated to find the rooms you're taking class but they even developed an app that helps you. Wherever you go at Uni, you will always find a friendly face.

On the other hand even though the campus is relatively new (60 years old) some board's room need to be replaced. Also I think that the buildings need to be adapted for people that could use wheelchair. read full review

MSc Speech and Language Therapy (Pre-Registration)

UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX

Gabriella - October 2026

It’s hard to choose the best parts of my uni because there are so many wonderful aspects. As an international student uni of Essex has made an intentional decision to make me feel welcome. Whether it is through student led events, campus led workshops or program led advice, university of Essex has proven to me that they have our best interest at heart. Regarding what can be improved, there is very little that has not been thought of and provided by the university, I would only like for the heater in my dorm to be turned on sooner as I’m unaccustomed to the cold. read full review

so many great activities to do to meet people and go on different nights out. you’ll never be bored.
i can only speak for my lecturers but they’re all really understanding that it’s an intense course and they support us if we need it.

could be more places to chill during the day like where to have lunch and also cheaper options for lunch too - unless you get a meal deal from the store which is still £5 it’s £8+ read full review
