Study Abroad Guide 2009

Vice-Chancellor’s Welcome

Each year we welcome over 500 students from across the world to our Study Abroad programme. Discover how you can enrich your academic and cultural experience by joining us at the University of Sussex.

‘Study Abroad allows you to benefit from taking part of your degree in a different academic and social environment. Located at Brighton, just an hour outside London, the University of Sussex is the perfect place to make the most of your time in England.

‘Sussex enjoys an international reputation for academic excellence, and is an exciting place to be a student. We encourage intellectual breadth, flexibility of thinking and initiative, skills highly prized in the worlds of work and research.

‘Our campus is situated in beautiful parkland on the edge of Brighton – England’s city by the sea. You will find that the friendly and diverse nature of campus life is shared by the community at large; Brighton is renowned as both a cosmopolitan and lively place.

‘In this guide we have tried to provide the information that will help you decide if Sussex is the right place for you. Our International and Study Abroad Office staff are happy to provide any further advice or help you might need (E international@sussex.ac.uk).

‘We look forward to you joining us here at Sussex.’
