About the course
This course is for you if you need to improve your English language skills and subject knowledge of psychoanalysis before going on to a Masters course

You improve your language fluency and academic vocabulary, develop your academic skills, and gain experience of western methods of teaching and learning so that you can progress onto a relevant Masters course in our Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies


At Essex, you can progress onto our MA Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies, MA Management and Organisational Dynamics, MA Psychoanalytic Studies, or MA Refugee Care


Our International Academy offers some of the best routes for international students to enter higher education in the UK

Our innovative courses and programmes have proved very successful with international students and have also attracted UK students because of the distinctive learning environment we offer


If you are an international student, you may find that the education system in the UK is slightly different from other countries and, sometimes, that the transition to the British system can be challenging

Our courses help you to settle in and adapt to life in the UK


Alongside improving your academic English skills, you also develop an understanding of the distinctive character of psychological thinking when the concept of a deep unconscious is introduced

The theories of psychoanalysis introduce a profound, new dimension to the understanding of society, culture and politics


Our Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies is internationally recognised as one of the leading centres for work on the role of the unconscious mind in mental health, as well as in culture and society more generally
