Information for prospective students

The Department of Government welcomes Study Abroad and other occasional students. Such students visit for a year, a part of a year or do not register for University of Essex Degrees.

If you are an international student who wishes, instead, to obtain a degree from the University, please visit the web page for prospective undergraduate, postgraduate taught or postgraduate research students.

Pattern of studies

Study Abroad Students normally come to the University for one of:

Academic year: early October to Late June

Autumn term: early October to mid December

Spring and Summer terms: mid January to Late June

Modules

For details of modules available please contact The Study Abroad Office or look on the module directory for politics modules.

Postgraduate modules are not open to Study abroad Students.

Teaching and assessment are exactly the same as for students registered for University of Essex degrees. Where necessary (because the student is not present for the whole academic year), special arrangements are made.

Contact

Study Abroad students must apply via the University Study Abroad office. The Study Abroad Office deals with all the administrative matters, e.g. application forms, tuition fees, accommodation.

For academic matters you are welcome to contact Professor Frances Millard the Department's Study Abroad Officer.
