With 7,000 undergraduates, the University of Essex provides a friendly, student-centered environment in which to study. The campus has a modern, functional appearance with most of its academic buildings linked together by a series of interlocking halls, pedestrian squares and courtyards. On the edge of Colchester with picturesque East Anglian villages such as Wivenhoe only a mile away, there is much to see and explore.
One of the premier UK universities in the social sciences, Essex combines research excellence and a reputation for teaching quality with a lively and dynamic faculty who are excited about their subjects and who specialize in working in small group settings. The advantages that the University of Essex offers you are its strengths in art history, economics and political science. There are a range of courses in subjects such as human rights, international development and law, which will challenge a government major.
