Let us show you around

We understand that choosing a university is an exciting experience, but it can also be a time when you have a lot of questions. We run both self-guided and guided campus tours, allowing you to get inside knowledge about what our campuses have to offer.

We run campus tours throughout the year and at our Open Days and Offer Holder Days.

You are very welcome to visit and take a self-guided tour around our beautiful campus. Slots are available from 10am - 4pm daily. Please book your tour and we will send you information.

Guided tours

Let us show you around our campus and accommodation. You'll have the opportunity to meet a member of the Essex team and ask any questions you may have about life at Essex. We have a couple of different options for you. 

We have campus tours running every Wednesday and Friday at 12pm (midday); tours must be booked at least a week in advance.

If you can't make these days, we will try and arrange a tour another weekday or you are welcome to do a self-guided.
