Welcome to Rebel – the home of student media at the University of Essex.


Rebel is the voice of students. A place for creative expression, that’s free and inclusive to all.

Rebel Radio broadcasts throughout the term featuring student led and produced shows that cover News, Sports, Politics, Music and much more! We’re always looking to add new shows so why not give it a go?
Rebel Creative is a place where students can showcase their creative writing work. Our mission at Rebel states that we are the voice of the students and that we are a place for creative expression.
Our members create video content about a range of things that matter to them. Covering events on our campus and the wider world; interests; hobbies; politics and more.
Our members write a huge range of articles for Rebel covering a wide breadth of topics including campus news; world politics; film reviews; culture; interests and so much more.
Check out the latest episode of Essex Blades TV co-created by Rebel and Essex Blades. Interviews, highlights and regular round ups of everything Essex Blades Sports.

Here’s a snapshot of our most recent content but if you’re looking for something in particular we’ve split up our content into 4 main sections: Articles; Radio, Video (including our sports channel Blades TV) and Rebel Creative.


Enjoy browsing our site and get in touch if you want to be part of Rebel.

There’s also lots of opportunities to get involved with Rebel and the best part is, your membership is FREE!
