Our campuses: Southend

The Southend Campus, newly opened in 2007, is based in the heart of Southend-on-Sea in south Essex. Located just off the High Street, the Gateway Building is the first of the Southend Campus developments and offers modern, state-of-the-art teaching and business environments in a busy town centre location.

Three academic departments run courses from the Southend Campus, their students benefiting from modern lecture rooms, rehearsal studios with panoramic sea views and high-tech medical skills labs.

The Southend Campus is also home to the Business Hub, a specialist resource for companies of all sizes, which aims to foster and promote economic sustainability. The Business Hub provides a wide range of support services and contemporary, professional facilities including a Business Incubation Centre for start-up businesses and the renowned i-Lab.

Southend-on-Sea is a vibrant seaside town, which has benefited in recent years from a major regeneration programme.  Southend has a welcoming and lively atmosphere and its seven miles of award-winning coastline provides ample opportunity for a variety of water sports and leisure activities.
