University of Essex: Ranking

• After the completion of my course at the University of Essex, I discovered that the career services team was very proactive and they supported us with full-time opportunities. They regularly hosted employer networking events, job fairs, and workshops on CVs and interviews. Many graduates go into sectors like consulting, finance, data analytics, IT, marketing, and public policy.
• That depends on their degree. Being close to London was an advantage, as many companies that recruit at this university have their offices in London, and also the university has good links with employers in the region. I noticed that for international students, roles in data, tech, and research were quite accessible, especially under the graduate route visa, which gives you 2 years to work in the UK after graduation.

• The campus life at Essex was vibrant and inclusive. There was always something happening — international food festivals, cultural nights, Diwali and Holi celebrations organised by the Indian Society, music gigs, career networking events, and charity fundraisers.
• The Students’ Union supports over 100 societies and clubs, ranging from sports (like cricket, badminton, football) to cultural (like the Bollywood Dance Society, South Asian Society).
• I personally was a part of the Debate Society and the Indian Society, which was a great way to meet like-minded people and feel at home. Sports facilities are excellent, and I occasionally use the gym and join casual football games too.

• Not sure about it as I graduated during Covid and there is no assistance during that time.

• Initially I stayed at uni accommodation, and rent was 399 pounds; later on I made friends locally and shifted to a friend's house and was paying 320 pounds as rent.

• I secured an opportunity in the same domain even before I got my results; it's all about the right search and establishing your education and presenting it in an appropriate manner to secure a job.

• I rented through Facebook and my monthly costs were around £1200

• After graduating from Essex, I first joined as Project associate at IIT Madras, then I worked as Research Assistant at the Indian Council of Research on International Economic Relations, and then I worked as a Senior analyst at the Centre of Study for Science technology and policy, promoting policy-making consultation to various government departments in India.

No University provides placement in the UK except for those where students enrol in placement-specific programs. Hence, no companies visit the university after completion of the course. However, one can apply on various job sites and portals, and in my personal experience, the average median salary one can expect in the UK with some experience from their home country can be anywhere around £20,000-£26000. I have previous compliance experience, hence for experienced and freshers, salary can differ.

I decided to go for this university because of its ranking, flexibility and duration of the course. The admission process was very smooth and seamless, the admission team was very cooperative and responsive. 10/10 for EBS staff. Every email was responded to in detail which further helped me to take the next step in a much better and easy way. I had prepared for IELTS to get admission as part of the process and did all the study for it by myself. I was a working professional at that time in India, YouTube helped me prepare for this exam, and I did it all by myself. Within a month I took the exam and scored a band of 7 overall. With regard to choosing the college and other paperwork, I took help from Blue Sky Education, based in Kolkata. They handheld me throughout the process and made my worries less. Now I have successfully graduated from the University of Essex and working here in London, UK. It's an amazing place for students who want to learn and have a good time on campus.

Post-study opportunities for my program are promising. Reputed companies visit, offering diverse roles. The placement process is well-structured. Median salaries are competitive, reflecting the program's efficacy.

My experience at the University of Essex has been transformative. The diverse environment, rigorous academics, and enriching extracurriculars have shaped me holistically. The supportive faculty, modern facilities, and vibrant campus life create an environment where learning extends beyond the classrooms, making my journey truly exceptional.

The average placement is good. Even if you do not apply for the placement program, you will easily get a job. Placement Process If you apply for a Placement Course the University will automatically send your CV and you will be required to appear for an interview. Or they will send you for an internship. After this, if your performance is good then you can get a job.

As Essex University is in the top 5 for ECONOMICs research in the UK.

I am currently enrolled in a law reform project with the Essex Law Clinic - a partner organization of the Law Commission of Britain and Wales. In addition, there is also an exclusive Human Rights Law Clinic which partners with several international NGOs and UN bodies to collaborate on research projects and provides real-time work experience and lots of networking opportunities to the students as well as several skill developers training received.

Ranked in the top 50 law schools globally and in the top 10 specifically in human rights. The Essex brand works wonders for those who want to pursue a career in the field of human rights.
