Clearing for international students
Sussex is a truly global community with over 3,000 international students. Every year we welcome students from across the world through Clearing. Here's some essential information that will help you through the process.
Clearing is now closed
Clearing is now closed. If you’re looking to join Sussex in September 2023, you can now apply for entry via UCAS.
If you're looking ahead to Clearing 2023, we will begin listing vacancies when Clearing opens in July 2023, with vacancies for A-level students being previewed in August 2023.
In the meantime, you can get an idea of the type of courses we offer on our undergraduate course pages.
