Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Which university is better Essex or East London?

I have offers from both universities. Essex for studying Philosophy and Psychology at East London.

University of Essex.

Why?

- Better teaching resources
- 2nd in UK for student satisfaction
- UK's top 20 in research which you will do throughout your course
- UK's leading political science research department

However if you're looking to move out then Essex may not be the best choice (that's for the Colchester campus).

Hey

I am a current postgraduate student at the university of Essex so you are free to ask me anything you want regarding the university itself!

Essex is considered the better uni by a long shot. UEL is very much geared towards mature students and others from backgrounds who wouldn't typically have gone to uni in the past. Great if its one of your only options but if you have better options as you do then go for them unless you really prefer Psychology over Philosophy.
