Essex has never grown to the size envisaged when it received its royal charter 40 years ago and the 5,500 full-time undergraduates rattle around the spacious 200-acre parkland campus. Away from its Colchester base, however, Essex might yet realise the original vision of a medium to large institution. The funding council gave £15m in February to help found University Campus Suffolk in Ipswich, a joint venture between Essex and the University of East Anglia. Many Essex and UEA courses will also be delivered at FE colleges in Suffolk. Work is under way on the new Southend campus, and the main Wivenhoe Park campus will get new lecture theatres and a social sciences research building to house the university’s notable Institute for Social and Economic Research and the UK Data Archive. Few universities can match Essex’s recent teaching record. New degrees include computer and network security, creative writing, a foundation degree in specialist performance skills (stage combat) and clinical physiology (cardiology). From next September a degree will offer environment, lifestyle and health — three modern obsessions in one hit. Students can often live on campus for two of the three years.
