University of Essex International College
What you will study
Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.
A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Language Studies with Latin American Studies
Beginning with a broad survey of the area and its history in the first year, from pre-Conquest times to the present day, this course gives students a substantial degree of freedom. This allows them to focus on the topics and areas which inspire them the most, such as:
• Contemporary Latin American art, culture and society • The economic and political history of Latin America • Indigenous issues in Latin America • Caribbean literature
Students can also add an additional language to their portfolio, choosing a third language from French, German, and Italian.
Essex also offers a month-long summer course with fees paid for by them if students start a language from scratch via the intensive route.
Essex is one of the largest and most prestigious language and linguistics departments in the world, a place where talented students become part of an academic community in which the majority of research is rated ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, placing them firmly within the top 10 departments in the UK (REF 2014) and ranked among the top 150 departments on the planet according to the QS World University Rankings (2017) for linguistics.
