Students on a campus tour

Students will have the opportunity to take a tour of our Colchester campus, to see our on-campus facilities that give you the chance to explore your interests. As well as participating in a student and staff Q&A panel, giving students the chance to hear first-hand what it’s like to study at Essex and get any questions answered.

We are excited to offer a Taster Day Bursary for school groups attending this event!* School groups bringing 10 or more post-16 students can claim up to £150 towards their travel expenses.

*Please note, this offer is not available in conjunction with the Schools Membership travel bursary.
