Notes
Home and EU students
For any four year courses that have a preliminary year, the first (year 0)
will be charged at a lower rate for 2011 entry. The rate for 2011/12 is still to
be confirmed but was £1,310 for 2010 entry. All subsequent years of study will
be charged at the standard Home and EU rate.
UK (Home) students may also be eligible for a
University bursary and/or government grant.
Equivalent or Lower Qualifications (ELQs)
If you are applying for a degree course in 2011 but already possess a
qualification at the same, or higher, level as the course you wish to take at
the University of Essex, please note that you will be classified as an ELQ
student for fees purposes. 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. This means that if you already have
a degree in a particular subject, but wish to undertake another degree course in
a different discipline, you will be charged the higher fee as shown in the above
table as opposed to the standard fee that home students will pay if they are
taking a degree for the first time. Please note that this does not apply to
students who wish to study a Foundation degree, or for those wanting to
undertake the Nursing undergraduate degree courses at the University’s Southend
campus. Exemptions to the ELQ policy may apply; this will be determined in
individual cases by Undergraduate Admissions during the admissions process.
Further information on
Equivalent or Lower Qualifications
(ELQs), is available in our Student Finance website.
NHS funded courses
Students on certain NHS funded courses within the departments of Biological
Sciences and Health and Human Sciences may to be entitled to financial support
from the NHS, which can cover tuition fees in full.
Industrial and clinical placements and courses involving a year abroad
Students taking a course that involves a year abroad or an industrial or
clinical placement will pay half of the fee for that year, unless the placement
is for a Home or EU student as part of the Erasmus exchange programme for which
no fee will be charged.
All East 15 Students
An additional fee of £300 is payable in respect of Materials, Services and other
Professional Expenses such as helping to pay for enhanced production budgets, showcases,

4/3 year International Academy undergraduate courses will be required to pay an
additional fee of £2,030 in addition to the fee already paid for the first year (year 0).
Overseas Students
Students who are allowed to follow the accelerated fast track route on the
4/3 year International Academy undergraduate courses will be required to pay an
