University of Essex

Liberal Arts (Including Placement Year) - BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

It is the most welcoming place ever, and there’s something for everyone. You really find your people, and the SU makes it easy. The only bad thing is that we’re a bit far away from the city centre, but in campus we have everything we could need.
