"I studied abroad at Sussex for one semester (term) of my junior year at the University of Vermont.

I was overwhelmed by the variety of extracurricular opportunities available to exchange students—societies, events, sports activities, trips around the UK, and more. I took advantage of trips run by the University to London and Oxford, explored Brighton’s vibrant music and arts scene, and even travelled to Europe on a weekend away with my new-found friends.

My exchange experience inspired new interests and opportunities and I am more adaptable and independent as a result."

Brighton: the ideal Study Abroad destination

There’s nowhere quite like Brighton, our historic seaside city that’s become a hub for music, culture and creativity. Students can enjoy traditional fish and chips on the beach, take a stroll around the quirky shops in the Lanes, or experience the incredible Sussex countryside that’s just on our doorstep. London’s just an hour away, and easy links to the rest of the UK and Europe make weekend travel adventures a breeze.
