To be eligible for undergraduate courses at the University of Essex, applicants typically need A-levels or equivalent qualifications, with specific grade requirements varying by program. International students must meet equivalent standards, such as IB or country-specific qualifications, and demonstrate English proficiency via IELTS (usually 6.0 overall) or equivalent tests.
For postgraduate courses, a relevant bachelor’s degree with a minimum 2:2 classification (or international equivalent) is required. Some programs may demand higher grades or work experience. Research degrees often require a master’s qualification. Check the university’s course pages for precise criteria, as exceptions or additional requirements may apply.
