Apart from this main campus, there are also branch campuses in Southend, Loughton (home of the East 15 Acting School), and Ipswich. The campus in Ipswich is called University Campus Suffolk. It is a joint-venture with the University of East Anglia. Altogether, the University of Essex has 18 main teaching departments and 36 centres and institutes, teaching a wide range of subject. Its motto is "Thought the harder, heart the keener". The motto comes from the East Saxon poem, "The Battle of Maldon".
