Giving information about International Academy courses

Would you like to find out more about the International Academy and our courses? Ask us a question, our friendly team of advisors are on hand to offer support and information.

An academic department of the University

We provide undergraduate and graduate pathway routes to degree courses at our University. We also equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed on your chosen course.

We are a warm, friendly and internationally diverse department, and by choosing to study with us you will become part of our multicultural community. From the very first moment you arrive, we will make sure you feel part of our university community and that you are able to settle into life and study in the UK.

The International Academy is an academic department at the University of Essex. We are not a private company attached to the University, so you have full access to all the great facilities our campus has to offer.

English language and academic skills support

We understand that coming to the UK to study can seem daunting, which is why we provide English language and academic skills support throughout your time with us. We want to ensure you feel confident using your language skills inside and outside of the classroom. Our University Skills Centre provides free English classes to all international students, and our academic staff work closely with you to enhance your academic writing.

Progression at Essex

We are committed to providing you with an experience of living and learning to last a lifetime. That’s why we hope you will remain at Essex after completing your pathway studies. We work closely with all other departments, schools and centres across our University, and guarantee that a place is secured on your chosen course as long as you achieve the necessary grades.

Social and Welfare Team

Our Social and Welfare Team is a dedicated team of staff and student integration assistants. This team is unique to the International Academy and responsible for integrating students within our Department. Our integration assistants ensure your time with us is fun by providing a wealth of activities and events for you to join in with, and also support you with the transition from the International Academy to your future department, school or centre.
