University of Essex Study Abroad Office

Welcome to Study Abroad!

At the University of Essex the international dimension of higher education is highly valued. 
It is possible for students to add a period of study abroad, either to an Essex degree, or by attending Essex whilst taking a degree elsewhere.

What does the Study Abroad Office do?

The Study Abroad Office administers all aspects of the University's study abroad activity. 
This means that we support:

  • Essex students who want to include a term or year abroad in their degrees
  • Students from other universities who want to spend a term or year abroad at Essex
  • Staff visits to partner institutions via the ERASMUS programme
  • Exchange and other relationships with universities all over the world, including staff exchange

We are located at the Colchester Campus, in room 5S.7.27 (off Square 4, entrance 4SE,  7th floor above the Law Department)
