Located close to one of the UK’s most inspiring and creative cities, the Sussex student experience is second to none.

The University of Sussex campus has everything students need to live and socialise, from coffee shops and restaurants which are perfect for meeting up with friends or having a tasty meal, to the Students’ Union which organises fun events and activities such as quizzes and live music. There are also 200 societies and 30 sports clubs for students to get involved with.

The nearby city of Brighton is full of energy and it's easy to get around on foot. Students can explore independent cafes, restaurants and shops in the Lanes or visit the beach to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Top places to visit include the Victorian pier with colourful fairground rides and the Royal Pavilion which was built to look like an exotic Indian palace. Creative art, music, film and food festivals also take place in Brighton throughout the year.
