Student Handbook
Academic Year 2013-2014
Welcome to the Student Handbook – an online guide to essential academic-related and other
information on your campus, that you must read as you start your studies and become a member of the University of Essex community.
The information in this handbook complements other online information available to all students via the Essex
student homepage so you get the very best from living and learning at Essex by understanding services
and guidance available to support you, alongside clarifying University rules and regulations.
Please select the handbook for your campus:
Departmental handbook
Your academic Department, School or Centre also produces a useful handbook related to your course of study –
please make sure you read yours.
International Students' guidance
If you are coming to study at the University of Essex from outside the UK or EU, you must read these pages on immigration,
finances and living in the UK to help you make arrangements before you arrive and settle when you get here.
