Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at University of Essex

More communal spaces for eating your own food in the evening would be beneficial!

Better support for clinical placements is also needed for this course. read full review
The way the campus is built creates many social interactions when you just walk around to go to classes or go for a snack/drink. Nature is also omnipresent and that's wonderful.

Teaching quality was generally great but I had some really disappointing teachers, in minority, but still. read full review

PhD Psychology

UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX

Nadia - February 2026

I have returned to do my PhD after completing my undergraduate. I love campus, the department of Psychology is brilliant, staff and peers are all very friendly and supportive. I really feel it is such an inclusive environment. I would say in terms of improvements some parts of campus are quite tired and also a better range of healthier food outlets, including gluten/dairy free would make eating on campus more accessible for everyone. With cost of living still being quite high bringing back the student £2 meals would also be appreciated. read full review
