Accepting and Welcoming University

(5)·By Emily B·Chemistry· Jun 2024
In my time at Sussex, I have received nothing but welcoming acceptance for who I am and a feeling of being at home. There is a lot of support in place for when students struggle, and the greenery is great for mental health.

In my studies of Chemistry, the lecturers know us on a first-name basis. This makes the degree much more personal and helps us feel comfortable asking for help. The lecturers fully understand what each individual student struggles with and enjoys, tailoring the degree to them.

Politics / International Relations, Year 2

(5)·By Malick D·Politics· Jul 2021
Very good, at the American Express stadium so it was quite the experience. Quite a range of societies present and lots of freebies! Clean, professional and worth the cost. Not the prettiest but it's efficient and does the job. The campus and very nice and green, open and lots of summer vibes. Great lecturers and really challenging concepts that develop your mind. Brighton is cool, coming from London it feels like just a borough but really artistic vibes from the unique city. Lovely seaside and perfect beach for summertime.

English and Literature Studies, Year 2

(5)·By Megan R·English Studies· Apr 2019
Loads of fun, lots of drinking and going out all the time

East slope was the best accommodation. Was very sociable and so much fun however the actual dorms/rooms were nothing special but was super cheap

The bars are really good, the library is also really good but could do with being a bit bigger

The lecturers are always willing to help and are really good in their fields. They include every person on the course in seminars and the course content is really good

City life is amazing. Brighton is one of the best places o be I think to be. A student due to the fun things to do daytime and night time

That you have to be prepared to do some initial modules that aren’t massively interesting but will help in the long run. That you should make use of the staff and lecturers as they really help and do know their stuff and to make sure you go to the seminars as they are really helpful

Nice atmosphere and good facilities All facilities in the university are great! Every member of the politics department is great at delivering lectures and explaining complex concepts Brighton is a great city to live in. Always something going on

Business Studies / Management, Year 3

(5)·By Natalie H·Business· Jul 2021
It was fun, lots of activity and events happening in and out of the university. Lots of club events and promotions too! They're actually quite nice, all seem to be quite clean. My friends had their own bathrooms and the kitchen area was really big. We have a masssssive library, although I can't always find a space. Class rooms are big and always tidy. The lecture rooms are huge and again, always clean. I thought when I started I'd be scared of them but the biggest ones are my favourite. Very well organised and a lot of support is made available. You can always contact you tutors and I've always gotten fast responses. I grew up in Brighton, so I know the city quite well. There's always something happening and the night life before COVID was amazing. We have sooo many clubs, defo something for everyone.

Sussex is a Place like No Other

(5)·By Ellie G·Psychology· Jun 2023
I love the University of Sussex. The staff, support and care given to the students is fantastic and so detail orientated. I feel both supported and safe on campus, and the education is taught so in-depth that it truly feels like a worthy experience. I have loved my time at Sussex and look forward to more years ahead.

University of sussex

(5)·By Isha B·Economics· Jun 2023
The University of Sussex is a research university located in Brighton, England. It has a diverse student population and is known for its high-quality teaching, research, and vibrant campus life.

One of the most significant advantages of studying at the University of Sussex is its academic reputation . The university is ranked within the top 20 universities in the UK and is consistently recognized for its research excellence. It offers a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs across various disciplines, including humanities, sciences, and social sciences.

It has a progressive approach to education, with a focus on interdisciplinary learning and critical thinking. This approach encourages us to challenge conventional ideas and develop their analytical and problem-solving skills.

Furthermore, we have access to excellent support services, including academic advising, counseling, and career services. The university also provides a range of extracurricular activities and societies that allow students to develop their interests, socialize with their peers, and contribute to the wider community.

However, a downside is the quality of accommodation and the cost of living in Brighton. Like many other universities in the UK, the University of Sussex is located in a relatively expensive area, which can make it challenging for students on a tight budget.

Overall, the University of Sussex offers a high-quality education and a supportive community for students who are willing to work hard and take advantage of the opportunities available to them.
