WE ARE ESSEX. We’re on the side of people with guts
– Rebels with a cause. We’re about people who love to learn how, but
want to challenge why. But why do we have to stop here? Why can’t
we take it further, to the bit where it really gets interesting? We’re about the
people who huddle outside a class long after it’s finished because there’s much
more to be said, more arguments to be had. We’re about people who are
bold enough to challenge inequality and the status quo. People who don’t
expect the world to change simply because they posted on social media or
nodded when someone else spoke. At Essex you’re not just a student, you’re
a member, someone with genuine licence to shape what goes on around you.
To us it doesn’t matter where you’ve come from. We’re interested in how
you want to grow and what you want to change. We’re after people who will
help us push the frontiers of knowledge. Challenging convention is in our DNA.
All of which leaves you with a decision: are you going to sit and watch the world
go by? Or do you have the courage and energy to shape it? We’ll help you
explore, question and create powerful ideas. We’ll introduce you to people from
every corner of the planet, a genuinely global community that lives, works
and plays together. If you give up at the first hurdle, Essex isn’t for you. If you
want to be spoon-fed a degree, Essex isn’t for you. If you are brave enough
to have ideas and generous enough to share them,WELCOME HOME.
