Welcome to Essex SU Insights 👋

We’re here to listen, share, and spark change.

This is the place to explore what students are really saying about life at Essex. Whether you’re a student curious about what your peers think, or a member of staff wanting to understand student experiences better, these insights are for you.

We gather feedback throughout the year to highlight what’s going well and where things could be better - all to help shape positive, student-centred change.
