You can study it for free, but they ask for a deposit of a 100 pound that you will get back after you pass your exam. :) ]]> University of Essex Mirea http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1669717 The Meadows ? http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2354997&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 20:05:45 GMT I was wondering the same thing, so I did some...

Hello all,

Just thought I would create a new thread which is specific to the MSc Physiotherapy course. I shall be commencing my MSc in September this year at the University of Essex.

Any information regarding the course structure, research and revision tips would be greatly appreciated as we all know this course is going to be quite intense.

I have created an account on twitter @Student_Physio if anyone would like to add this. I set it up with the idea to help me research particular key areas and also to help others.

Cheers,

I've not visited Essex but considering it, being put off by the location though. From the look of things it's surrounded by fields e.c.t. , how far is the university campus from the city centre ?

Any current students or anyone who lives in Essex who can give me some information on the location, would be appreciated greatly.

Ii did not mean a private flat but also it is good to hear it shouldn't effect my social live or uni studying. As for the price I do not mind spending more than the towers cost as long as its reasonable for my student finance. I was just worried whether I will make new friends by doing this and what I would be missing out as I hear all these fantastic things about the first year of uni and don't want to miss out :)

Hi! I'm a current student at the university and my house is actually looking for a new tenant for next year. If you are interested it is a cheap double room in the center of town (so ideal for your girlfriend to find work as we are right next to all the shops) and has all bills included. Also the bus pass is about £144 a year which works out super cheap especially as we get access to cheap food (market). Also you would have instant access to new friends in the house and most of us are in societies too.

If not, I would suggest that it doesn't matter as much where you live as long as you are willing to put effort in to make friends through your course/any societies. Although some accommodation will give you an easier chance at making friends (some people I know in the quays struggled due to nationality differences or personality differences). Can I ask what course you will be doing at Essex? ]]> University of Essex Chris8M http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2330772 Accommodation 2013 http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2323412&goto=newpost Wed, 01 May 2013 07:55:42 GMT ---Quote (Originally by Emeraldeyes)--- I found...
