CGI of The Forum Southend-on-Sea, opening autumn 2013
Dynamic campus environment Our Southend Campus sits just off the town’s High Street. We are home to students studying within our School of Health and Human Sciences, Essex Business School, East 15 Acting School, Professional Development Studies, and our Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies.
The Gateway Building, our main site, is a purpose-built development, which combines state-of-the-art teaching facilities, including an IT lab, open study area, rehearsal studios, medical skills labs and Students’ Union, with a business hub, health centre and retail units.
Autumn 2013 will see the opening of The Forum Southend-on-Sea, the ground-breaking £27 million partnership project, being delivered jointly by Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, South Essex College and our University, to create a new state-of-the-art library and learning facilities.
Out and about The mix of bars, restaurants, nightclubs and alternative venues ensure that the town really comes to life at night. Southend-on-Sea recently received a Purple Flag* award in recognition of the quality of its nightlife and its welcoming, safe and clean seafront and High Street. During the day, coffee bars and cafés offer a cosmopolitan environment in which to enjoy your free time.
