Essex is ranked in the UK top ten for its research excellence, with many of the academic departments at the forefront of international research in their field. The University is also ranked seventh nationally for teaching.

The University's main campus is set in a beautiful 200-acre parkland, just two miles out of Colchester, with teaching, social and sporting facilities on site. It is also one of the UK's most international universities with students from over 120 countries.

It has a world class library, a lively social scene and extensive entertainment facilities. It has a good provision of student accommodation some of which will be available to international students on a first come first served basis.
