Nicole Kuschy, Fuerth,
Germany – MSc Economics
and Econometrics ’07,
PhD Economics ’11
“I knew Essex had a very good
reputation, in the UK and
internationally. In particular, it is
well known for the high quality
research that staff (some of
the best in the UK) undertake,
so a research degree here
seemed an excellent choice.
Having my PhD from Essex
means other institutions know
I come from a very good
department and have worked
with excellent researchers.”
Professor Jules Pretty,
Pro-Vice-Chancellor
(Resources)
“Both teaching and research
at our University are of the
highest international quality.
We embed in all our teaching
as much contemporary research
as possible. This makes learning
appealing, interesting and
relevant for all our students.
As well as providing you
with the specialist subject
knowledge needed for future
careers, we equip you with all
the transferable skills required
by today’s employers.”
Tim Gutsell, Director of the
International Office
“There is so much support
available for our postgraduates
that it is easy to feel at home,
express your own individual
identity and really become
a part of our University
community. Essex has always
been a really popular choice
for international students and
there are lots of good reasons
for this: we offer guaranteed
accommodation and have a
range of English programmes
for those who need to top up
their language skills.”
