Why Study at Sussex?
Sussex is considered one of the most exciting British universities at which to study. It was founded in 1961 and quickly established an international reputation for the quality of its research and for innovative and effective styles of teaching, attracting scholars from all over the world. Key to our mission is the provision of interdisciplinary modules, and small group teaching with individual attention. The large range of modules on offer allow you to get ahead with credit in core modules, or simply to experiment with something new.
The International Summer School provides an opportunity to meet and study with people from different countries and cultures, on a cosmopolitan campus. The University campus is on the edge of Brighton, a friendly city by the sea that could have been designed for students. The campus is a refreshing contrast, set in open parkland, with an excellent range of social and academic facilities. London is less than an hour away from Brighton by train.
Kelsey’s perspective
‘I wanted to study at Sussex because of the different course options, many of which were not offered back home. My classes have been challenging and engaging, and my professors are wonderful!
‘My experience at Sussex has been incredible. I’ve already made a close group of friends with people from different parts of the US and some from other countries as well.
Upon arrival, the student staff members were extremely friendly, helpful and fun! They had lots of events planned for us: the welcome party with free food and drink, wine tasting, hiking trips, karaoke nights, and tours of downtown Brighton. Brighton has a great atmosphere, with something for everyone – unique shopping, clubs, restaurants and, of course, the beach. I’ve especially enjoyed exploring the hiking paths in the woods and countryside around campus.’
