About the University of Essex and Scholarship
Essex, England is home to the University of Essex, a public research institution. It was one of the first institutions to use plate glass, founded in 1965 by royal license. The motto “Thought the harder, heart the keener” is taken from the Anglo-Saxon epic “The Battle of Maldon,” and the university shield has the old arms linked to the Kingdom of Essex. With its main campus located in Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, it has three campuses spread around the county, one each in Southend-on-Sea and Loughton.
The TEF has awarded Essex a Gold rating for teaching excellence since 2017, and in 2018 it was crowned University of the Year at the Times Higher Education Awards. The REF also ranks Essex as an outstanding worldwide research-intensive university.
