Student review [#13818] for International Relations
at University of Sussex

Having already completed my undergraduate elsewhere, I thought I knew what to expect when coming into fresher’s week. However, at Sussex there is a huge effort made to foster a real sense of community among students. There are always activities put on by the SU, for undergraduates as well as postgraduates. There are also many eating facilities on campus, with food that caters for all dietary requirements. Things such as the weekly food market are elements that really show what Sussex is all about.
On the academic side, all of the lecturers seem to be specialists within their fields – and everyone that I have been taught by appears really passionate about their subject area, which makes it that much easier to learn! As a postgrad student, I think it is easier to feel excluded from academic guidance, however I have always known that I have the option to go and seek help from any of my lecturers, even though I don’t have a personal tutor.
