Student review [#20477] for Childhood and Youth Studies
at University of Sussex

Considering the implications of covid and lockdowns etc… My course leaders have been very supportive. I struggled, as I’m sure lots of us have, with poor mental health and the university made a conscious effort to check in with me when my attendance began to drop. This kind approach helped me to trust my teachers and get me back on track.
In regard to the course content itself, it’s a diverse degree that opens doors for many career options. This has been perfect for me, but may not suit all as you might struggle with certain modules that just don’t interest you. Furthermore, the course also lacks key readings and/or papers from BAME groups. I feel that it is not inclusive enough. However, this was brought up by our current year group and will hopefully change in the future.
