Meet People

Because university life is so much more than earning a degree.

It's your time to dive into your passions and interests, while making lifelong friends who share them too. Your uniqueness is your superpower, and we celebrate that. So get ready to meet new people, explore new things and enjoy the ride! 🌟🎉

SOCIETIES

Looking for friends who share your interests? Look no further.

Whether you’re looking for members of your faith or cultural background, searching for others in your department or just want to hang out with those who share the same interests; Essex’s student-led societies can help.

Can't find a society that suits your vibe? No worries! You can kickstart your own!
