Postgraduate admissions increase

Admissions to taught postgraduate programmes are up 10 per cent on 1999, Assistant Registrar Terry O' Donnell announced last week. The total intake of overseas students to taught programmes - which has risen year on year since 1995 - increased by an impressive 15 per cent and the intake of home students went up by 8 per cent.

Admissions for postgraduate research are also up, by 3 per cent. Although the intake of postgraduate research students from overseas decreased, this was balanced by a 16 per cent increase in the number of UK and EU students who began research degrees.

"The intake figures on the whole are very positive," Terry said.

Sussex Postgraduate Fair

The Postgraduate Fair, which provides an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in postgraduate study to discuss the wide range of Sussex masters and research programmes that are available, takes place on Tuesday (21 November) in Bramber House between 12 noon and 2pm.

University faculty representing a range of subjects will be available to answer specific questions on courses and programmes and will advise on entry requirements.

The Career Development Unit will be running a series of workshops on how to fund postgraduate study and will also be available to advise on career opportunities.

It is not necessary to book in advance and the Postgraduate Fair is free of charge to attend. For more information, contact Terry O'Donnell in the Postgraduate Office on ext. 3854.
