We understand that choosing a university is an exciting experience, but it can be also be overwhelming. At the University of Essex we run campus tours led by current students and virtual tours, allowing you to get inside knowledge about what our campuses have to offer.
Join us for a tour of our campus and accommodation, where you'll meet a member of the Essex team and ask any questions about life at Essex. Tours are available every Wednesday and Friday at 12pm, but if those days don't suit, we’ll do our best to arrange another time or you can enjoy a self-guided tour. Tours must be booked at least a week in advance, and accommodation viewings are subject to availability.
Tours are conducted in line with government guidance, therefore you may have other visitors in your group.
If you or any of your guests have any specific individual needs then please include details and we can tailor your visit accordingly.
Available at both our Colchester and Southend campuses.
Can’t visit in person? No problem
If visiting in person isn’t possible, we offer virtual campus visits for school and college groups. Our online platform provides access to a wide range of recorded and live content, including interactive workshops, virtual tours, and live Q&A sessions to create an immersive campus experience.
