Why Sussex?
- Join the Happiest University in the UK (Unifresher Awards 2027) and be part of a community where students feel happy, heard and at home.
- Study on our beautiful green campus, just minutes from the vibrant seaside city of Brighton & Hove and an hour from London by train.
-
Benefit from our award-winning careers support and a guaranteed internship if you're joining the University of Sussex Business School in January 2027.
We understand that not everybody feels quite ready to begin their studies in September, particularly if you’ve just completed your undergraduate degree. If you’re an international student, our January intake gives you a few extra months to decide, apply for your visa and prepare to move overseas.
University-managed accommodation is available for international Masters students, subject to availability. We recommend applying early once applications open, with further details on options and timelines to be confirmed soon.
Students who join a Masters degree in January are eligible for relevant Masters scholarships (2026/27).
