Our BA Modern Languages and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (including foundation year) are open to Home and EU students. It will be suitable for you if your academic qualifications do not yet meet our entrance requirements for the three-year version of this course and you want a program that increases your subject knowledge as well as improves your academic skills.
This five-year course includes a foundation year (Year Zero), followed by a further four years of study. During your Year Zero, you study four academic subjects relevant to your chosen course as well as a compulsory 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.

are returning to university after some time away from education; or
are looking for more support during the transition into university study.
