A place to Thrive and Grow

At Essex we have two world leading universities, University of Essex and Anglia Ruskin University. Both universities are working closely with Essex businesses, from dedicated workforce training to products, processes, and services development. Entrepreneurial is not only found in Essex businesses but also our universities. It is thrilling to see that ARU won Entrepreneurial University of the Year in 2014 and the Duke of York Award for University Entrepreneurship in 2016. According to the data released by Innovate UK, University of Essex is the number one university for Knowledge Transfer Partnerships. Every year these two excellent universities are providing thousands of qualified graduate workforce in various sectors of Essex, as a fresh blood injection for our businesses.
