University of Essex Graduation Photo Frame for 10 x 8 Photo

Celebrate your University of Essex achievement in style with this beautifully crafted graduation photo frame, designed specifically to hold a 10 x 8 inch photograph. Whether it’s a proud moment captured at the degree congregation, a portrait in your academic gown, or a treasured group shot with fellow graduates, this frame presents your memory with the elegance it deserves. The overall frame dimensions are 293mm x 340mm, making it a generous and striking display piece for any wall or surface.

Frame and Mount Materials

The frame is glazed with anti-glare styrene, which reduces the damaging effects of UV light to help preserve your photograph over time. The mount is crafted from acid-free, archival-quality mount card, essential for long-term preservation — it will not yellow or degrade, keeping your photograph looking its very best for years to come. The University of Essex name is foil-printed directly onto the mount, adding a distinguished and personal touch that marks this as a genuine keepsake of your time at Essex.

The mount colour has been carefully selected to complement the University of Essex’s own colours, ensuring a cohesive and considered finish that feels authentically tied to the institution.

Your Choice of Frame

This photo frame is available in three elegant moulding styles, allowing you to choose the finish that best suits your taste and interior:

• Black and Gold — a timeless, classic combination that lends a formal and prestigious feel

• Teak and Gold — a warm, rich finish with a traditional academic character

• Contemporary — a sleek, modern option for a cleaner, understated look

A Gift Worth Giving

This frame makes a fantastic addition alongside a matching framed graduation certificate — the two pieces together create a stunning and cohesive display. It also makes a truly thoughtful gift idea: perhaps a present from parents or other family members to mark this momentous achievement, or a wonderful option for other loved ones to gift to the graduate to sit proudly beside their framed certificate.

About the University of Essex and Colchester

The University of Essex was established by royal charter in 1965, making it one of the original plate glass universities of England. Its primary campus at Wivenhoe Park in Colchester occupies a site that was famously painted by the celebrated landscape artist John Constable in 1816 — a heritage that lends the grounds a quietly extraordinary cultural significance. The university has cultivated an impressive academic legacy, producing two Nobel laureates among its alumni: Óscar Arias, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987, and Christopher Pissarides, awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2010. In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II conferred a Regius Professorship upon the university’s Department of Government, recognising 50 years of excellence in political science research — a rare and prestigious honour. The university was named University of the Year at the Times Higher Education Awards in 2018, cementing its place among Britain’s most forward-thinking institutions.

The city of Colchester itself adds further distinction to the Essex story. It is widely regarded as Britain’s oldest recorded town, occupying the site of Camulodunum — the first Roman capital of Britain — and home to some of the oldest surviving Roman walls in the country. It is a city steeped in history, from its role in Boudica’s rebellion to its association with nursery rhymes, including Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, penned by Colchester’s own Jane Taylor in 1806.
