Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at University of Essex

The private Health PhD area for PhD students is great, although its small and only three computers are available
Could be improved by Enhance it more :) read full review
Worst Part: Facilities (especially North Towers, dormitory) are too old. I feel like anything can be broken.
Best Part: Animals like squirrels and rabbits read full review
Best experience is people here, worst that being from Ukraine hard to get job even if I already been working here read full review
Staying on campus would probably improve my experience, but it is not an option for me.
We have great access to lots of readings/articles etc. That's probably my favourite bit about the uni - the library. read full review
High prices of accommodation read full review
Best campus ever read full review
The psychology department is excellent for student support and for furthering student academic achievement and giving practical experience. They offer so many different opportunities to work with researchers, and be involved in data collection. This includes teaching the use of different equipment, such as EEG, TMS, fNIRS and more. An area of improvement for the university could be better transport to the university grounds. If living off of campus getting to and from the uni can be expensive and time consuming. read full review
