The department manages the University's links with external bodies such as: UCAS, Local Education Authorities, Student Loan Company, Higher Education Statistics Agency and Training and Development Agency, the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) and professional and statutory bodies (PSBs).

Our services include:

  • admissions for undergraduate, taught postgraduate and research postrgraduate, for both home/EU and international students
  • student progress and assessment
  • central support and coordination for academic programme development
  • external partnerships
  • academic policy and procedures, including assessment regulations
  • timetabling of teaching and managing room bookings
  • maintaining student records (current and past) and management of registration
  • production of student transcripts and degree certificates
  • management information
  • support for teaching and learning for staff and students.

Another aspect of its role is to ensure that we have good and up-to-date feedback from students about their experience at Sussex, to which the University can respond, and to be the main point of liaison with the students' union (USSU).
