Notes
Home and EU students
UK (Home) students may also be eligible for a University bursary and/or government grant.
Equivalent or Lower Qualifications (ELQs)
If you were admitted to a degree course in 2011 and already possessed a qualification at the
same, or higher, level as the course you are taking at the University of Essex, please note
that you will have been 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. You will continue to be charged the
higher fee as shown in the above table for continuing years of study, as opposed to the standard
fee that home students will pay. Please note that this does not apply to students who study a
Foundation degree, or for those undertaking the Nursing undergraduate degree courses at the
University’s Southend campus. 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 in 2012-13 will pay a fee of £1725, 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, transport, London
venue hire, theatre visits and other expenses related to the training of acting and stage
professionals.
