after a first degree but are final year honours in level, are charged at 80% and 40% of the Band A or (exceptionally)
the B Masters fee. Overseas fees for these courses are charged as set out below.

SECTION D: MODULAR STUDY
a) Undergraduate
Fees for modules taken on an individual basis by students registered part-time in order to complete modules for
reassessment, will be charged by credit value pro rata to the relevant full-time fee, e.g. a 30 credit module will cost ¼
of the relevant full-time fee.
Fees for modules taken on an individual basis by students concurrently studying for a degree are determined on an
individual basis, but are normally charged by credit value pro rata to the relevant full-time fee that the particular
student is paying for their year of entry.
b) Essex Modern Language Certificates
Fees for 2015-16 are:
Members of the public:
 £890 per 30 credit module (costs of the study abroad element of intensive language courses would be
charged as an extra)
Members of the University (i.e. registered students/members of staff):
 £556 per 30 credit module
c) Languages for All Programme
All students wishing to learn a language in addition to their main course of study can do so at no additional cost
through Languages for All. Students who wish to undertake a second language course can do so for a fee. For 201516 the fee for both Express and Portfolio additional modules has been set at £250.
d) Postgraduate Taught
Please see Appendix 1 for details of Postgraduate Modular Study Fees.
i.
Home/EU
Modular study students declaring at the outset that they will not undertake assessments are entitled to 10% fee
reduction, rounded to the nearest £5. There are no refunds for intended assessments which are not completed.
ii.
Overseas
Overseas students would normally be unable to study part-time because of their immigration status.
SECTION E: POSTGRADUATE VISITING RESEARCH STUDENTS
The University has a tariff for visiting students seeking research attachments to departments and/or individual
members of academic staff. This is intended to reflect the cost of providing a research attachment for an occasional
student. These fees are calculated as a proportion of the standard PhD fees. The monthly rate is calculated as a
quarter of a “four month" term.

4. Liability for payment of overseas fees is determined by reference to the Education (Fees and Awards)
Regulations. The Admissions Officer is responsible for determining the fee status of applicants to the University;
