MA Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

University rating (5)

The graduation ceremony should be immediately after graduation not 6 months after! Also, allow students to take pics with the gown if they will not attend the ceremony! Thanks

University rating (4)

the student union here is really good as it provides a lot of different things across uni such as night life, food places, shops it's like a mini village the lectures and seminars are easy to follow and the support is there and easily accessible if needed or struggling to follow along. i like that there’s a lot of learning and social life at uni it provides a good balance. the only bad aspect i have faced is the commuting as it is a long drive

Criminology with Social Psychology (Including Placement Year) - BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

I think the student union is amazing, and the student life overall is very active at the Uni of Essex. However, some of the facilities could likely do well with more frequent maintenance.
