South Essex College of Further and Higher Education is a further education college located over three main sites in Basildon, Southend-on-Sea and Grays in Essex, England. The college provides courses for students of all ages, from 14- to 19-year-olds to undergraduates, adults and businesses. The college was founded in 1899 as an art school and was renamed later as the Junior Day Technical School, then being restructured to include in its teaching commercial and industrial skills for education in courses like plumbing.The college became South East Essex College of Arts and Technology in 1991. In 2004, the college relocated to a £52m campus in the centre of Southend, close to main public transport routes, right next to the High Street and mainline railway station. The college formally merged with Thurrock and Basildon College on 1 January 2010, and was renamed South Essex College. The college is seeking to relocate its Thurrock and Basildon campuses to the town centres of Grays and Basildon in the future.
