Master of Business Administration (Essex MBA) - Batch of 2025
3.9
Beautiful fun loving and nostalgic
Tips: Before you actually arrive at Essex, you definitely want to sort out your housing and figure out how you're getting around. The Colchester campus is pretty unique because it’s built around these massive concrete squares, and honestly, it is incredibly easy to get completely lost during your first week. You’ll save yourself a massive headache if you pull up the campus map early and get a feel for where your lecture halls actually are. It’s also a really smart move to download your module syllabus and timetable the second they go live so you aren't scrambling and missing classes right off the bat. Outside of campus, make sure you explore the town of Colchester itself. It’s actually Britain's oldest recorded town, so it has a cool historic vibe, but you'll want to figure out the bus routes from campus into the town center early on so you know where the best food spots, supermarkets, and pubs are.

Lovely campus good facilities
Tips: They actually have scholarships for anyone who cleared their HSC with over 60%, but just heads up—you also need to score really well in English to qualify. The info I got was solid, but honestly, the whole study abroad scene in the UK is a bit of a mess right now. With all the recent law changes and them cutting back on post-study work (PSW) visas, it’s getting tricky. You definitely need to do your homework and research everything thoroughly before making a move.

Great opportunity for students.
Tips: Better to get accommodation in university so you get a good connection with university students and professors, so easy to communicate and better internships and assignments help. You can apply for hardship funds of 1000 GBP for you to live in the UK.

Balanced growth, strong support with room to improve.
Tips: Programme structure is rigorous but rewarding; workload can be heavy in core terms. Campus resources are strong like the library, career centre, counselling but some services have long wait times. Housing options vary by department; apply early and check visa/tuition requirements if you're international. Caring into a new city can be overwhelming at first, but peer groups and orientation events helped a lot. Cultural differences mainly involve communication style and time management expectations.
Likes (Safety): The campus feels very secure with a visible security presence well-lit areas and quick response times. Low crime rates in the area and a strong sense of community trust.

Dislikes (Internships): The internship opportunities were limited in number and geographic availability and several postings required prior experience I didn't have. Some resources exist including a general career portal and a few campus workshops but guidance is fragmented.

The college is great and offers variety of courses and the campus is the best.
Tips: If you want to go to a university with a good campus, then the University of Essex is the place to go. Some of the courses they offer are not as good as others, so choose your course based on the ranking. The university ranks well for students with a math background, but they offer a variety of courses with slightly different modules, so choose the course that is right for you. I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Safety): I felt safe walking to the university even though it was a bit of a distance from the city. The surroundings were good and secure and I never felt unsafe. It was convenient to travel there but it was still safe to travel.
Dislikes (Value for money): Even after getting the scholarship the quality of education for a particular course was not that good. Some of the professors weren't as good as expected and the college only lasted for 6 months. After that you would have to work on your major project from home.

University of Essex is good. Part-time is less.
Tips: There are no part-time jobs, students are living in London for their part-time job. Students should come here with some prior knowledge. Don't take exams slightly. If you love nature then Essex is the best place to live in. If you really want to study then University of Essex is good, but if you want to do more things along with your studies then go somewhere near London.
