Chemistry at Sussex takes a student-centered approach to our research-led teaching. We are passionate about teaching, research and student experience at Sussex, and we would relish the opportunity to convey this to you and your students. Students could also mention the experience in their personal statements for their university applications.
Your students could hear about how we are working on the evolution of cancer treatment as we know it, the world’s tiniest magnets, and how Quantum dots are being used in a broad range of developing technologies from displays and solar cells to bio imaging and optical storage.
