Additional Notes

For information on funding and fees for Masters Pre-Registration courses in Health & Human Sciences, including Physiotherapy, Nursing, Speech & Language Therapy, and Occupational Therapy please refer to the School’s web pages,.

For information on modular studies in Health & Human Sciences, please refer to the School’s web pages,.

Part-time fees are calculated from the relevant full-time fee; a part-time student taking a 12 month taught degree over 24 months would pay half the relevant full-time fee in each academic year. These fees are applicable to study in 2012-13 only. Part-time students continuing their studies in 2013-14 will pay the relevant fee for 2013-14.

Equivalent or Lower Qualifications (ELQs)

Home and EU students who already have a qualification at the same, or higher, level as the course they wish to take at the University of Essex will be classified as ELQ students for fees purposes. ELQ fees are higher than standard fees for home and EU students. This is because the University does not receive funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) for students assessed as having ELQ fee status. Exemptions to the ELQ policy may apply; this will be determined in individual cases by Graduate Admissions during the admissions process.

ELQ fees for postgraduate taught courses in 2012/13 are as follows:

Laboratory-based courses £11,650
Performance-based courses £9,150
Classroom-based courses £7,650

The fees in the above table are for 12 month Masters courses. ELQ fees for Postgraduate and Graduate Diplomas and Certificates will be charged at 80% and 40% of the above fee rates respectively.

The following exceptions apply:

  1. Where the fee for home and EU students on a particular course is higher than the ELQ fee set out in the above table,
    the higher fee will be charged;
  2. Where the ELQ fee is higher than the overseas fee for a particular course, the overseas fee will be charged.

Further information about UK Government policy on students holding Equivalent or Lower Qualifications is available from HEFCE.
