The information below will help you find out how to apply to Sussex and what qualifications you need if you come from outside the United Kingdom.
How to apply
How you apply depends on what you want to study at Sussex. For some courses, you apply direct to Sussex, while for others (such as undergraduate degrees), you will need to apply through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). Choose your level of study on the study with us pages for more detailed information.
Overseas qualifications
Entry requirements are listed for each programme on the study with us pages. You will see that the academic requirements are normally A levels / International Baccalaureate (for undergraduate) or an upper second class / lower second class degree (for postgraduate). These are common UK qualifications. If you have studied outside the UK, you will need to check if your high school or degree results are equivalent.
