Highlights
The University of Sussex is a public research university located in the southern coastal county of Sussex in England.
More than a third of the university's students are studying a postgraduate qualification, as one in three are international students.
On-campus accommodation offers a range of options, from en-suite to shared living styles. All accommodation is self-catered, so students cook their own meals. There are seven different housing options for students to choose from.
If you apply for an undergraduate course that starts in September, you are guaranteed University-managed accommodation for your first year of study if you meet their requirements.
Sussex University also owns flats and houses off-campus. Many students in senior years choose to live in the surrounding area of Brighton & Hove.
A standout feature of student life at Sussex University is One World Week, a series of events that aim to raise awareness of global issues and highlight international opportunities for the diverse Sussex student population. There is also a Coaching Programme that offers life counselling and a Student Centre. The University of Sussex is the 25th most international university in the world.
Queensland is a popular study destination for international students as the internationally recognised institutions prime students for readily available success beyond graduation. Cultural tours are frequently held to celebrate the location's diversity, and tourists often like to tour the Great Barrier Reef. The Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast provide relaxing beach spots to unwind between classes, and students are tempted to explore the famous outback.
