About our prospectus
Our prospectus has been prepared in 2011
and refers to taught courses and research
opportunities which will be available in
October 2012.
Although great care is taken in compiling
this prospectus, it is for the general
guidance of prospective students only.
The University cannot guarantee the
provision of all the programmes and
services advertised in the event of
circumstances beyond its control, and
therefore reserves the right to make
changes or cancel any programme of

necessary. The University cannot be held
responsible for failure/delay in performing
obligations caused by things beyond its
reasonable control, such as fire, flood or
industrial action. For the most up-to-date
information, please contact our Graduate
Admissions Office.

of the University are set out in the Charter,
Statutes and Ordinances and in the

of a place at the University, you consent to
incorporation of this notice as a term of
contract between you and the University.
Quality assurance
The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher
Education (QAA) undertook an Institutional
Audit of the University of Essex in March
2008. This audit declared ‘Confidence’ (the
best judgement available) in relation to the
soundness of our present and likely future
management of the academic standards
of our awards and in the soundness of our
management of the quality of the learning
opportunities available to our students.
A copy of the full report is available on the
QAA website at: www.qaa.ac.uk/reviews.
