About
The University of Sussex is a research-intensive campus university near the vibrant city of Brighton & Hove, on the UK’s south coast. Make yourself at home by the sea and live in Brighton, one of the UK's most iconic cities. Brighton is only one hour from London and well connected to airports.
Sussex uses research-led teaching, a unique location and a strong sense of purpose to broaden its students’ perspectives. Choose from over 500 undergraduate and postgraduate courses, taught by world-leading academics, and join our thriving student community.
Sussex has an excellent international reputation and we are ranked in the top 50 UK universities (The Guardian University Guide 2020 and The Complete University Guide 2020). We are proud to be placed in the top 150 (#146) in the world (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2020).
Sussex has a Teaching Excellence Framework silver award for the quality of its teaching, and has been particularly commended for its outstanding employment strategy and excellent student success rate, with a very high proportion of Sussex students from all backgrounds completing their course and going on to highly skilled employment or further study.
Sussex encourages its students to speak out about the things that matter to them and stand up for what they believe in. We welcome spirited students who want to study in a creative and intellectually challenging environment. At Sussex you will be encouraged to open your mind, deepen your thinking and leave your mark on the world.
Our campus is extremely spacious, green and peaceful. The campus is set in the outstanding beauty of the South Downs – it’s a stunning environment to study and live in. Many students travel to and around campus by bicycle, making travel cost-effective and safe.
You’ll find everything you need on campus, from a health centre with a daily drop-in service to childcare facilities and two sports centres. Our campus is like a large village, with everything you need for day-to-day life. This includes a bank, post office, GP surgery, dentist, and pharmacy as well as numerous cafés, bars and restaurants, and a twice-weekly food market.
Sussex is committed to looking after students’ wellbeing. With dozens of societies, including the popular Dog Walking Society and the Buddy Scheme, we provide many mays to help students feel at home and make friends. Our excellent Library provides thousands of digital journals, reports, e-books, software and training.
