We provide stimulating teaching and pioneering research in an academic setting that is uniquely interdisciplinary. Our teaching is exceptionally student-driven and there are many opportunities for students to get involved in our world-leading research. Your lecturers will take you to the very edge of current understanding. At Sussex you will mix with the best, studying with like-minded, hard-working physicists enabling you to fulfil your potential. Since 2000 our students have won more prizes than any other university (source: The SET Awards). |
