University of Essex October Open Day

The University of Essex October Open Day is an on-campus event designed for prospective undergraduate and postgraduate students, with family members also welcome. It gives visitors the chance to explore the university, learn more about studying at Essex, and decide whether it feels like the right fit.

Across the day, attendees can tour the campus and accommodation, speak with department staff, visit faculty hubs, and join interactive activities linked to areas of study they are interested in. There are also taster talks and practical workshops that show what lectures are like, along with advice on applications, entry requirements, funding, and student support.

The event also includes opportunities to meet the Students’ Union, find out about clubs and societies, and connect with academics. Visitors can use the event’s transport support, accessibility guidance, and check-in arrangements to make their visit as smooth as possible.
