University of Essex Applicants 2016

Hey! Just wondering, have you heard anything back from them yet? I applied last week and got the confirmation/acknowledgement email today! I'm excited, have you applied anywhere else?

Hi, no nothing yet but did receive an email wishing merry Christmas and to say there still working during holidays and the new year will bring news so hey ho hopefully very soon and no nowhere else yet hoping to apply to kings when application opens in January. How about you?

Yeah I got that too, hopefully the new year will bring us both good news! Good luck ! Are you from around London, I'm hoping to apply kings too. Also applied to Cardiff, Queen Mary and Portsmouth! I'd just be happy to get in anywhere tbh. Where's your first choice?

I am from london and unfortunately can't travel to far out as have a family,I am a dental nurse applying, how about you? So for me its just Essex for the time being and if not applying for Kings as well lets hope it really is a happy new year lol

Hi,
I've applied to do English Lit here and have received an interview offer for the end of this month. Is anyone else attending and do you know what our discussion will be on?

Hi I'm applying for BSc Psychology with predicted BCD, I've put it as my first option because i really want to go here, but i was wondering how lenient they are with entry requirements?

Hi I have also applied for Literature and have an interview on the 27th, I have no idea what to expect! It seems stupid but do we bring parents?

Hi, yes parents usually attend but it's up to the student I brang my mum for my biomed interview and during the interview time the parents went off and had a tour of the department. However not all students brought parents but I'd say most did. Hope that helps

Hi Lea!

I'm currently in my third year studying English Literature at Essex and although I can't offer you any specific details or opinions on your course, I can answer any questions about Essex in general! So if you have any concerns about the university itself I'd be happy to help!

Also, it might be a good idea to join our Facebook university page as you will be able to post on there to ask for advice on your course as there will be current students on there currently studying your course who can give you more information than I can! (Link below)

Hi Jess,

thank you so much for your answer! Yes, indeed, I've got some questions:
Are you from Colchester/Essex or did you move there? Is it good for living? Do you live on the campus? And are the facilities nice? And are there nice places to go out? I will visit the university as soon as I hear something from Newcastle.
Thank you!!

Congrats to everybody with offers!

I'm going to be rejecting my Essex offer but wish the best for all of you if you choose to go

Oooh, in favour of what uni if I may ask?

Either LSE or York for firm and QMUL for insurance. Still undecided and waiting to hear back from LSE!

You thinking of accepting Essex?

Haven't decided, I'm torn between UEA and Essex...

Good luck with LSE!

Hiya, I study at the university of Essex and although I personally don't study that course, one of my best friends does so I can share her opinion of it with you, She has said countless times just how much she adores her course and how they really teach interesting topics and she loves being able to choose some of her modules. The one thing she can find challenging at times is the essay writing but as long as she plans from ahead she manages it fine. One final thing she said is that she loves how interactive the classes are and how they let her really express her opinions on different matters.
I hope this helps!
