Our Open Day is a chance for you to see the true spirit of Essex, the place you might be calling home.

Academics will be available to chat to one-on-one so that you can learn more about the courses you're interested in, and you'll be able to learn more at a subject talk with an academic teaching on the course. For a real taste of the student experience, pop into a taster lecture too!

Our campus is pretty huge, so it's a good idea to join a Campus Tour which are run by students who can show you their favourite spots. We also have a huge variety of accommodation for you to take a look around, and speak with students living there this year.

Think street food huts, mocktails, live music, and society demonstrations. Head outside to the Squares in the heart of campus and soak up the atmosphere of student life at Essex. Meet our Students' Union, find a society you'd like to join and chat to its members.

Check in opens at 9am and the day finishes at 4pm. Bring along your friends and family and get to know Essex. We can't wait to meet you!
