University of Sussex
Overview
UCAS Code: S90
The University of Sussex has challenged convention since its foundation in 1961. From the campus’ modernist architecture on the edge of the beautiful South Downs national park, to our progressive academics and creative professional services staff, to the inspiring students who choose to learn and live here, to the very tone of the institution and the nature of its conversations, through to the expressions of radicalism, critical thinking and, at times, dissent. Sussex students receive a transformative, high-quality education and develop the knowledge and skills to be critical thinkers, entrepreneurs, commentators, citizens and activists.

Open Day
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.

My first year was very poorly handled - no support really for first years starting in a pandemic. Disability support throughout my time at University has been poor, and waiting lists for counseling and mental health services have been months and months long. My contact hours have been okay but quit...

Most of my tutors seem really approachable and they always respond to my emails in a timely way. My contact hours are quite small in comparison to some of my friends but I don't mind that because I like to study independently in the library. There is quite a lot of group work assessments which I've ...
