Region Overview
The ‘East’ of England begins where London ends so, as you’d expect, it’s easy to reach from the capital, with the southern part of the region situated in the commuter belt. It consists of the counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and the area known as East Anglia.
There are around 255,000 pupils at their secondary schools, with selective schools in Essex and Southend-on-Sea. This is supplemented by 27 further education colleges. Additionally, there are eight universities in the East of England, including the University of Cambridge, which has been rated as the best in the world.
The region has the highest-proportion of post-graduate students in the country, with 45 per cent of those at under-graduate level native to the East of England.
