Information for prospective students
Study abroad students
We welcome study abroad and other occasional students who visit us for a
year or part of a year (not registering for University of Essex degrees).
Pattern of Studies
Study Abroad students normally come to the University for one of the
following timeframes:
- Academic year: early October to late June
- Autumn term: early October to mid December
- Spring and Summer terms: mid January to late June
All undergraduate economics modules are open to study abroad students if the
pre-requisites equivalent to those at Essex are judged to have been met. You are
welcome to enrol for any of the modules listed in our
module directory.
Postgraduate modules are also open to study abroad students if the
pre-requisites equivalent to those at Essex are judged to have been met.
Visiting postgraduates should contact the Director of Graduate Studies at
pgecon@essex.ac.uk.
Teaching and assessment are exactly the same as for students registered for
University of Essex degrees. Where necessary (because you’re not with us for the
whole of the academic year), special assessment arrangements are made. (Special
assessment arrangements are approved by the University's Study Abroad Office in
consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Economics.)
Contacts
All study abroad students must apply via our
Study Abroad Office, not directly to the Department of Economics.
The Study Abroad Office handles all the administrative matters, including
application forms, tuition fees, accommodation.
You are welcome to contact the Department of Economics about academic
matters, for example which courses are appropriate, the courses that are on
offer, the arrangements for assessment. Please e-mail
ueco@essex.ac.uk.
