The Department

Past Postgraduates

We want to set up a general communications reference point, so that past students can make contact with one another. Please email the page supervisor Camilla Thomsen (cthomsj at essex.ac.uk) with details of your email address and (best of all) home page, so that we can update your entry. In particular, if you are able to provide careers advice to our current students, please let the relevant page supervisor know.

If you would like to donate money to our Townsend Scholarship fund please contact Lynsey Dawson in the University’s Development and Alumni Relations Office (ldawson@essex.ac.uk or 01206 872700) for further information. Your donation would contribute to supporting Postgraduate students in financial need.
