Economics at Sussex is a fast-growing department committed to high quality teaching and research within a friendly academic environment. We have about 500 undergraduates on a variety of degree programmes, plus thriving masters programmes and research degree programmes.
About 40% of our undergraduate and over 70% of our postgraduate students are from overseas and enrich the learning environment in the Department. Our graduates have a strong record of obtaining high quality jobs, going on to work in a wide range of sectors including government, economics consultancy, banking and NGOs.
We specialise in research on the economics of developing countries, issues of international trade and labour economics. Our research is supported by substantial research grants from the ESRC and other sources. We also work closely with all the major international agencies, from the World Bank to the European Commission, and this depth of experience is brought to the teaching of our degree programmes.
