University of Sussex Speciality : Philosophy
programme: Philosophy and English

The programme is highly engaging and has lots of variety across it due to my degree being a joint one. Some aspects of certain modules however could be improved. The English side of the module lacks opportunity for creative work which I think is a shame and would improve the classes overall, there is little room to be creative as it is more critical and theory-based despite a heavy focus on poetry and fiction works. The professors are informative and most helpful when needed yet there are certain classes where I feel some professors bring more effort than others. The student life in Brighton is amazing, there are lots of things to do and see especially during the winter seasons. The school is heavily international with lots of overseas students making up 60% of the overall students at Sussex. There are plenty of opportunities for overseas connections. My chosen field may lack a direct career path but it does, however, allow me to begin a few different chosen careers due to its depth and areas of study. I would recommend the University of Sussex highly.
