Any of undergraduate or postgraduate courses delivered in partnership with the University of Essex carries the same level of weight and sense of achievement as any other programme delivered in a traditional way, on campus. This is possible due to the rigorous academic quality assurance procedures that each of degree programmes have had to meet, governing the development, approval and assessment of each course. This ensures and protects the value of the award you gain and makes sure the learning outcomes are comparable with an on-campus programme.
