University of the Year for Student Retention 2022

We’re incredibly proud to have been named the University of the Year for Student Retention by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022.

We’re extremely proud that Sussex has been named the University of the Year for Student Retention by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022.

The award singles out Sussex as the best in the country for supporting students to stay the course and complete their degrees.

The guide highlighted:

Our Learn to Transform strategy makes students partners in the big decisions that face the University. Our new Student Connectors initiative employs students to work directly with staff and students on continuous improvements to how we do things.

We have a comprehensive range of events and activities to prepare students for university life, such as summer schools and visits, which provide a solid foundation; our focus then shifts to putting in place the best possible academic support.

Our personal development offer also builds students’ confidence, providing the employability skills that can support students in making informed choices. We also offer paid summer research opportunities, internships and mentoring.
