If you are still considering enrolling as a Voice Study Centre student, we've put together a list of 5 reasons why you should let us help you invest in your academic development.
Academic support is second to none.
Students will have access to 1:1 tutorials with their assigned tutor at a time that suits them.
Our tutors include Sophie Scott, Pippa Anderson, Mel Toy, Claire Thomas,
Louisa Morgan, Joseph Griffiths-Bloor and Joshua Lee-Cummins.
Government student funding is available for UK MA students.
The course fee can be split into more manageable instalments for all students.
We understand that life is unpredictable, therefore we have designated
in-house student support. The University of Essex also offers a free 24-hour helpline
for all our MA students, which provides assistance on a wide range of issues
such as legal, financial, medical, or life matters.
We host around 60 online short courses every year, in addition to the
existing internal classes and events, all of which are free to our students.
Students also have access to The University of Essex academic online library,
which includes 24/7 access to e-books, e-journals, specialist databases,
online newspapers, and much more.
As a student with us, you will have the opportunity to
negotiate your own research topic(s) within the broad field of voice.
We have access to a wealth of leading industry experts and are more than
happy to introduce you for specialist tutorials, at no extra cost to you.
