Program Reviews

Studying abroad gave me the opportunity to met new people and new cultures. I took the Economic course at the University of Sussex and it was quite satisfying. The level of teaching was really high and the resources they used were up to the expectations. They were very useful. I also think that the facilities and the commodities were pretty good. But what I enjoyed the most was the people I met and the friends that I made.
It is also important to mention how incredible was the library. It had thousands of books and is really comfortable. Another good aspect about the University of Sussex is the huge campus they have. It is sorrounded by nature and a lovely environment. It was a great Experience and an incredible trip. It has changed my life.

I had the most amazing time spending a year exchange. Brighton itself is a magic city and the societies within the University make it so worth it. The campus is easy to follow. Loved it so much!

I was a drama and music student.The classes were interesting and the lecturers were great to listen to you. The classes are difficult but rewarding
Some of the people I met during my time here have since become my bestest friends. I loved the University and its been one of the best things I have done. I have since made friends for live all over the world and developed new skills I didn’t know I had! I saw lots of theatre with the Brighton fringe also and the West End, Brighton is also a quick hop to London and a fantastic gateway to seeing lots more of the country.

Sussex is an excelente university. It has fun classes that have a high academic level and also has a lot of spaces to make friends and meet people. There is no shortage of things to do or opportunities to learn.
Sussex is an excellent space for learning, with a great library, cafes al across campus and no shortage of green spaces to relax and chill with friends.
Professors and administrative staff are kind and always ready to help exchange students in whatever they might need, be it academic or mental help. The staff of Sussex abroad is also ready to help and extremely kind to all exchange students, on top or organising trips, barhops and all sorts of activities for students.
All in all it’s and incredible experience and a semestre I’ll have close to my heart always

I chose this university since it has a great reputation for development studies. I did not have any opportunities to study them; therefore, I came to the University of Sussex for it. Professors are very kind and supportive of students. Moreover, I have found that many students have good motivations for studying. This really helped me focus on study more. The University of Sussex has great facilities such as a library which is open for 24 hours. In addition, it offers a lot of different events such as about Brexit, working career, and cultural exchange. The location of the university is also great since it is located nearby a national park, which you can enjoy walking. I definitely enjoyed life at the University of Sussex for a year and recommend people who want to study in an international community.

It was a wonderful experience studying for a semester at University of Sussex. The trips organized by the International Student Support were fun, educational and enjoyable, and I met lots of new people. Understandably, since I'm visually impaired, I was given an on-campus accommodation which was nice given that it is very close to the canteen where I can get food, however this also means I became isolated from other exchange students, since they all live in the city, which meant I missed out on potentially a lot of things that these exchange students might have done. The support I was given during my course of study was great, especially the volunteer note taker who helped take notes for me during lectures and kindly emailed them to me in a format that I can properly read with my screen reader. Literally all the buildings I came across on campus were very friendly towards people with disabilities, with elevators featuring both braille and audio indicators, and gender-neutral toilets that are wheelchair-friendly.

Sussex had an amazing program. Living in Brighton is wonderful and vibrant, and the students are all friendly and inclusive. The night scene is fun but it can get very crowded in Brighton on weekends, so sometimes I stay on campus. The housing allocation I was given even has its own bar! There is a lot of independent work for classes so that's definitely something to be aware of. I am loving my time here, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's interested in the area and culture in this part of England.
