Course Overview

Our BA Financial Economics (including the foundation year) is open to Home and EU students.

This four-year course includes a foundation year (Year Zero), followed by a further three years of study. During your Year Zero, you study four academic subjects relevant to your chosen course as well as a compulsory English language and academic skills module.

You are an Essex student from day one, a member of our global community-based at the most internationally diverse campus university in the UK.
