One of the things I like most about the University of Essex is its green campus and natural surroundings. However, I think there could be more support for international students, particularly when they face financial difficulties. I have personally struggled to find suitable scholarships or financial support, even during challenging times. More accessible scholarships and hardship funding for international students would make a real difference and help students feel more supported.

Applied Biomedical Science (NHS Placement) - BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

The lectures are very helpful, as well as the SU staff. I think they should offer more support to students that come from low income families

University of Essex

Biomedical Science - BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

Everyone here is so friendly, you can make so many friends here. There is a lot of food choice on campus and a couple minutes away from campus. Thursday markets are always a bonus, different variety of food sold then. Lots of study spots if you want to do it as a group or on your own. There is always some sort of event happening everyday on campus and there is a lot of sports plus societies you can take part in.

University of Essex

Law (Including Year Abroad) - LLB (Hons)

University rating (5)

The best part is definitely the campus life and it’s always busy, crowded and music on day time, I never feel lonely when I’m around the campus. The worst part is probably the Essex map thingy, the classes are too hard to locate. Hope that there will be improvement of map.
