How will this affect me?

Undergraduate Students

I am a second year student: Your final year courses will already be based on 15 or 30 credits and consequently there will be little change for your programmes.

I am a first year student: Your courses will now be structured to fit the new credit framework and will continue to have the relevant quality and content to meet the course and programme learning outcomes.  If you have any queries about your courses for your second and final years please contact your School Office.  We are in the process of updating the information on Sussex Direct and will notify you when this is available.

Postgraduate Taught Students

Postgraduate programmes are already within the 15 or 30 credit framework and therefore it is unlikely there are changes to your courses.

Postgraduate Research Students

The Portfolio Review will not have had any impact on your current research programme. You will need to know that the Structure of the Academic Year is also changing but this will not affect your studies. For details of the new year structure please go to Structure of the Academic Year.
