University of Sussex reviews

Sussex University has a massive campus that breeds a very social and eventful student life. It is surrounded by a beautiful national park that enriches the student experience with lots of sports opportunities, outdoor activities like nature walks, hiking trails, dog walking events and such. A bus ride away is the booming, busy seaside city of Brighton, that makes life in Sussex constantly exciting and spontaneous as you never run out of things to do or people to meet! There also exists student clubs and societies for practically any type of interest or hobby a person could have, from physical sports, to dancing, to gaming, to culture and ethnicities, to food, to photography, to animals and many more. 

Academically, Sussex has an environment that pushes you to excel. Most professors and teachers in my course are engaging and always open to helping us learn better. Most professors carry out their own research alongside teaching, hence their scientific knowledge is always fresh and relevant; this has also personally shown me different paths that my dégrée could take me after graduation. Specific to my course, research facilities for students are stellar and there are research centres within the campus itself that can be utilized by students in certain cases. The university also provides so much help with career planning, with regular interactive workshops on everything from CV writing, to job interviews, to futher studies applications, catered to both home and international students.

The course was engaging as were the lecturers, who were always keen to assist and further your knowledge - the readings were well chosen and the structure of the course good. Class sizes were too large in some modules.
