University of Sussex Speciality : Management
programme: Engineering Management

MSc in Engineering Business Management at the University of Sussex is a very important degree for the future leaders in technology and business development sectors. I learned the significance of technical solutions in the world of business. There are two pathways to choose, electrical and mechanical and a variety of business, management and engineering modules. It almost felt like an MBA but with more technicalities.

University of Sussex is very supportive for their students with Student Unions listening to the needs of the University. A big range of scholarships are available for those with abilities or certain financial hardships. The university also carries out extra classes for supporting international students in adapting to the new environment, academically or socially. Buddy scheme and Careerlab ensures students can always seek for advice regardless of the query they have. The professors and teachers are very responsive, considerate and will schedule meetings for extra help outside classroom. All in all, the university provides excellent academic support alongside mental healthy support.

The computer labs are equipped with the state of the art processors, monitors and other hardwares. The 24h library befits anyone’s study schedule and can accommodate a very large number of students, may it be for self study or group discussions. The sports activities were easily reachable but they should advertise more about their activities to make sure the interested students can follow up. Accommodation prices are on the high but there are a lot of off-campus accommodation facilities as well. In both cases, quality of the housing is top-notch.

The university’s administration is very professional and keeps the students updated with the ongoing and achieved developments of the university.

It has been a pleasure for me to have University of Sussex beside me in my Masters studies. It is an unforgettable experience as I have learned more than what academic books can teach me but the memorable experiences and lovely companies that I had.
