The new South Essex College of Further and Higher Education brings together Thurrock
& Basildon College with South East Essex College in a strategic alliance to create
higher quality learning opportunities for the people of the Thames Gateway South
Essex area.
The vision for the new College is an ambitious one. We aim to build a great College
by providing outstanding education and skills training. That’s from entry level
up to full honours degrees for young people and adults in order to better meet the
needs of local people, employers and communities.
Why study with us?
The new College brings together the complementary curriculum strengths and specialisms
of the two previous Colleges. We offer hundreds of courses across our main campuses
in Basildon, Southend and Thurrock. We are building on both College’s past success
and best practice and will be developing our provision to give students even greater
choice and opportunity.
South Essex College of Further and Higher Education is innovative, creative, responsive,
modern and well resourced and delivers excellent customer service. Our number one
priority is learner success.
The right support
Our enthusiastic and industry experienced staff and comprehensive learner support
services are focused on providing an outstanding learner experience at the new College.
Our award-winning student services team can help learners through both their academic
and other support needs.
The best partnerships
Through working in partnership with schools, other colleges, training providers
and universities we are able to ensure a more coherent and comprehensive offer is
available to learners across South Essex with clear routes to further education
and beyond to higher education and employment.
South Essex College launched on January 1st 2010 and we have been enormously encouraged
by all the support for the new College.
I hope that you find the College website useful, and that you will
find out more about studying at South Essex College by requesting a prospectus
or coming to one of our open days. I hope to welcome you to South Essex College
in the near future.
With best wishes for your future study and in achieving your goals,
Jan Hodges
Principal and Chief Executive
South Essex College
