  11. Student views "Once I had decided to study in the UK I looked at websites to find which universities were good and I saw Essex was highly ranked, especially in my subjects. My friends who were studying in the UK also told me it had a very good reputation. “On the Bridging Year programme I needed to study hard but I found it was an excellent way to prepare for my degree because I knew what to expect. The teachers knew that many of us were studying overseas for the first time and so they helped us to settle in.” Miss Summer Chang – China Now Studying BA Accounting and Economics
