LIFE AT SOUTHEND

Our Southend Campus is based in the heart of this vibrant and modern seaside town.

With its lively, state-of-the-art facilities

and a close-knit international community, Southend is the perfect

environment for living and learning. Famous for its beach resort and pier, Southend-on-Sea stretches along seven miles of award-winning coastline. There are also over 650 acres of parks and gardens, a fun park, leisure centres, pubs, clubs, cafés and restaurants. Southend Central railway station is opposite our campus and the journey

to central London takes less than

an hour. London Southend Airport, with flights to many European and UK destinations is just three miles away. We are also just one hour away from London’s Stansted Airport.

GATEWAY BUILDING

The Gateway Building houses a purpose-built suite specifically for East 15 students. This includes fully equipped, state-of-the art rehearsal studios with panoramic views across Southend-on-Sea, plus seminar rooms, computer labs and media production resources including an Apple Mac edit suite for our BA (Hons) Creative Producing students

CLIFFTOWN STUDIOS AND THEATRE

A magnificent Victorian former church in the heart of Southend’s conservation area was converted into our Clifftown Theatre. It also houses a variety of unique spaces for rehearsals, technical and practical work and performances. The church nave, with its original organ and stained glass windows now provides an inspirational and atmospheric environment, redesigned to accommodate the needs of a twenty-first century performance space

THE STUDENTS’ UNION

The Students’ Union at our Southend Campus provides a dedicated space for students to meet, have a coffee, relax and watch films or sport. It runs a wide variety of entertainment throughout the term, such as international nights

and open mic nights

THE FORUM

In ‘The Forum’ building, students have round the clock, secure access to the Learning Hub, which provides innovative IT and study spaces. The Forum also houses an integrated public and academic library, carrying books and other support materials. Students in Southend also have access to the East 15 Loughton Campus library and the University’s Colchester Campus library
