Key subject showcase

Life at Essex is full of opportunities. You'll work with world-leading researchers who are driven to make a difference and you can get involved with departmental research, speak at conferences or even work as a lab assistant. Whatever your discipline, we can help you go further and gain real-world, valuable experience for your current or future career. 

As an Essex postgraduate student, you’ll be an integral and respected part of our global community. Our students from across the UK and around the world study a wide range of taught courses and we will give you the freedom, knowledge and tools to become a successful professional, and we’ll continue to support you even after you’ve left us.

We have over 100 different Masters courses; some of which include a professional placement, giving you access to workplace training where you’ll gain in-demand skills and experience with another organisation or business. And some of our Masters degrees allow you to gain two degrees in two years, studying at both Essex and at another institution overseas. 

These are just a few of the ways we can make your time as a postgraduate at Essex incredibly experiential and life-changing.

The GREAT Scholarship applies to all of our Masters courses so there’s a lot to think about before applying for a Scholarship and Masters degree with us, and we understand that making the decision to do Postgraduate study is a big one. To help you get started, why not explore our subjects here, or grab yourself a prospectus to read in your own time.
