Course Overview

On our four-year BA Media and Digital Culture (including foundation year), we work with you to develop your subject-specific knowledge, and to improve your academic skills. You receive a thorough grounding in these areas during your foundation year (known as Year Zero) to prepare you for a further three years of undergraduate study at Essex.

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.

At Essex we investigate what connects people with each other, as well as what divides them. We consider every aspect of our daily lives, from how we relate to politicians, celebrities and friends, to how we define ourselves, our families, and others.

General Eligibility

UK and EU applicants:

  • All applications for degree courses with a foundation year (Year Zero) will be considered individually, whether you

  • think you might not have the grades to enter the first year of a degree course;

  • have non-traditional qualifications or experience (e.g. you haven’t studied A-levels or a BTEC);

  • are returning to university after some time away from education; or

  • are looking for more support during the transition into university study.

    Standard offer:

  • Our standard offer is 72 UCAS tariff points from at least two full A-levels, or equivalent.

  • Examples of the above tariff may include:

  • A-levels: DDD

  • BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma: MMP

  • T-levels: Pass with E in core

International & EU entry requirements

We accept a wide range of qualifications from applicants studying in the EU and other countries. Get in touch with any questions you may have about the qualifications we accept. Remember to tell us about the qualifications you have already completed or are currently taking.
