University of Sussex (reviews)

Currently starting my degree in Media and Communications at Sussex and the balance between theoretical and practical work is perfect for anyone who isn’t super creative. In our first weeks we’ve been in and out of the newsroom and editing suites more than I expected for term one. This was something that really worried me as I wanted a balance between the work I was doing and I am already feeling satisfied.

Tucked between the nature of the south downs and a quick ten minute train into Brighton, The uni is the perfect balance for peace and tranquility and the colourful city of Brighton and all it has to offer. The community is huge and lovely making settling in easy. The distance from London is also amazing for those looking for careers and opportunities in the Capital.

Good, but felt like we were only learning the teachers speciality, meaning we could not translate our learning to the real world unless it was fully on the topic we had learned. I think it could have been interesting to have a more broad understanding of how to incorporate biology into real world work

The experience here is overwhelmingly positive. People are eager to help me at every hurdle and step of the way. Feedback is encouraging and motivating for me to strive for greatness. The South Downs provides a natural environment, perfect for feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Lectures are enthralling – I always find out something new!

I like the balance between independence and support at the University of Sussex. The lecturers are approachable, and the seminars feel engaging and practical, especially for Business and Management. The campus is also in a great location near Brighton and the South Downs, which makes student life enjoyable. I would highly recommend it to students looking for a supportive environment with a strong sense of community and good academic standards.
