THE University of Essex continues to excel and climb up the university rankings.
The Times and The Sunday Times’ Good University Guide 2018 has ranked the Colchester-based university 22nd in the country, eight places higher than last year.
The guide is a comprehensive overview of higher education in Britain.
The University of Essex excelled in a number of areas including in students’ overall experience and in job prospects for graduates.
Essex Vice-Chancellor Professor Anthony Forster said: “With record numbers of students applying to the university, a £200million programme of improvements to teaching facilities, informal student spaces, new sporting facilities and new student accommodation and the largest expansion of academic staff in the history of the university, we are proud that our achievements have been recognised in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018.
“We are growing, but we have not lost focus of who we are and where we have come from. We are proud of our roots and our mission and values remain unchanged from when we first opened our doors to students in 1964.”
