Study Abroad Office
The main features of the Study Abroad programme are:
- Students are fully integrated into the academic and social life of
the University and follow the same courses as students taking University
of Essex degrees.
- Most of the courses taken by regular undergraduates are also
available to Study Abroad students.
- Study Abroad students are assessed on the same basis as students
studying for degrees.
- At the end of the period of study an American-style transcript is issued to each student
and his/her home university.
- University-owned single occupancy study-bedrooms on the University
campus and fully integrated socially with other students are guaranteed
to all Study Abroad students.
Students taking these programmes are admitted by the Study Abroad Office
(and at Essex are known as Study Abroad students).
