The University of Essex typically has two main intakes: October and January. The October intake is the primary admission period, with applications opening a year in advance. The January intake offers limited courses and is ideal for late applicants.
For undergraduate courses, the UCAS deadline is usually January 31 for equal consideration, though late applications may be accepted until June 30. Postgraduate deadlines vary by program but generally fall 6-8 weeks before the start date. International students should apply earlier to allow time for visas. Always check the university’s official website for course-specific deadlines and updates.
