University of Essex: Catalyst Project

Established 50 years ago, the University of Essex has gained a global reputation with three of our subjects ranked in the world’s top 100. 

Our pioneering research helps change lives and has placed us in the top 20 UK universities for research excellence, with politics consistently topping the rankings. 

An international community for original thinkers, Essex provides a transformational education which equips our students with the skills, knowledge and curiosity to build successful careers and lead fulfilling lives.  Our students agree, ranking us top ten in England for student satisfaction.
