Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at University of Essex

I appreciate that there are lots of opportunities to get involved with sport or different societies as well as general SU events open to all students. My lecturers are very knowledgeable and the campus both students and staff is very diverse and representative of all.
I do not feel the gym facilities are suitable for a school of this size. I would appreciate better facilities for fitness overall. Additionally, blades appears to favour certain sports over others.
Finally, I do not feel the hours of the Essex store (where you get Essex jumpers etc) are conducive to students schedules. I often am in class all day and when I finish lessons the store is closed and I am therefore never really able to go inside and look around. read full review

Sharon Stella - February 2024

There is overwhelming student support mechanism where you can get bespoke guidance for anything really, from academic stuff, to general stuff that comes with living as a student at the university or in the Colchester Town in general. The culture just blows my mind, contrary to my expectations, i feel at home here! I've been here for 4 months and I can say I have settled really well with support from the University of Essex family read full review
The best aspect of my uni experience was definitely the sense of community and camaraderie among students and faculty. The support system I found there was invaluable, whether it was through study groups, extracurricular activities, or simply grabbing coffee and chatting between classes. This created an environment where learning felt not just like a solitary pursuit, but a collaborative effort.

The best Experience is that they provide You literally anything and everything at your hand tip . you don't need to worry for missing a lecture or lab or having doubts everything is safe with essex. The negative I would tell is that some lecturers don't make us aware of the exam patterns. I had this experience recently that it was my first Exam at the university. Even when the question Paper was easy exam was computerized and we all found it pretty much difficult as it was our first time. We didn't get enough time to complete the exam and recheck answers . If there was a mock for the same it would have been much better. read full review
