  Did a masters here, was interrupted by covid. Then came back for a postgraduate diploma in social work. Wouldn't recommend the education and social work courses here at all. Absolute shambles, no organisation. Very harsh marking, always gave feedback which fell on deaf ears and likely increased the harshness of my assignment marks. Too many strikes which only effect the students, never the head honchos who should be the target of their strike. Don't go

  The University of Sussex is a public research university located in Falmer, East Sussex, England, it is mostly within the city boundaries of Brighton and Hove but extends into the Lewes District in its eastern fringe. Its large campus site is surrounded by the South Downs National Park and is around 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) from central Brighton. The university received its Royal Charter in August 1961, the first of the plate glass university generation, and was a founding member of the 1994 Group of research-intensive universities. More than a third of its students are enrolled in postgraduate programmes and approximately a third of staff are from outside the United Kingdom. Sussex has a diverse community of nearly 20,000 students, with around one in three being foreign students, and over 1,000 academics, representing over 140 different nationalities.[9][10] The annual income of the institution for 2019–20 was £319.6 million with an expenditure of £282 million. Sussex counts 5 Nobel Prize winners, 15 Fellows of the Royal Society, 10 Fellows of the British Academy, 24 fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences and a winner of the Crafoord Prize among its faculty. By 2011, many of its faculty members had also received the Royal Society of Literature Prize, the Order of the British Empire and the Bancroft Prize. Alumni include heads of states, diplomats, politicians, eminent scientists and activists.

  I applied for the course of biomedical science with foundation year on clearing a few years ago. They rejected me because I had not studied biology and chemistry during the final school year. This university, like all British universities, is a private institution. For this reason, students are charged £9,250 per year. Private universities accept all students to make money regardless the subjects they study and/or their grades. I cannot believe the decided to lose £37,000. Nobody refuses money in this world. If I had gone to a private university in Europe, they would have accepted me. If this university had been public, it would have lost nothing by rejecting me. Public universities do not care if they lose students as they are owned and funded by Governments, not by students. The government is very generous because it pays for students’ university fees. I have now biology and chemistry A-Levels. I can apply to study biomedical science at this university. Although I studied hard and did excellent exams twice, I was awarded Us in Biology and Chemistry. I was awarded Us because I did not pay bribe to exam boards. Exam boards use the word “review” to hide the fact that they request bribe to award students their grades. The more money they receive, the better students' grades will be. Exam boards sell grades because they are private commercial companies (Limited). My internet provider is a Limited company. I give them money and, in return, they provide me with access to the internet. Colleges are also private companies. Education in the UK is just a business. Grades are, therefore, based on money; not on students’ mental skills and knowledge. In Europe, sixth form colleges are government owned institutions and award grades. For this reason, there are no exam boars and no expensive exam fees to pay. Meritocracy is in public institutions only. People consider Eastern European countries i.e. Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia etc. bad and underdeveloped places. In these nations, sixth form colleges and universities are government owned institutions. As a result, they are public institutions. They are free of charge for indigenous students only. They request money from foreign students only because their national currencies (Polish Zloty, Romanian Leu, Bulgarian Lev, Russian Ruble etc.) are weak compared to the British Pound, Euro and US Dollar. Polish, Bulgarian and Romanian medical schools accept British students although they obtain Us at A Level. They do so to make money. Meanwhile, British universities refuse students obtaining Us. I cannot believe that in the UK, a developed nation, FE is monopolized by private institutions. Exam boards are a legalized form of corruption. I can easily study biomedical science and succeed at undergraduate level despite exam boards’ false judgement about me. I am also capable of studying and succeeding at medical school. Unfortunately, universities consider exam boards’ judgement about students a dogma and they do not take into account students’ skills and knowledge when making them offers. The most important things to succeed at university are mental skills and knowledge, not letters printed on a piece of paper by private commercial companies. Bad students, having money, buy grades but they do not have the skills required to succeed at university. Meanwhile; good students, having no money, are rejected. This is extremely unfair. Universities should accept everyone in order to make money and fill places in science courses. They have empty places every year. Universities complain about empty places but they reject good students. This is a paradox. Maybe I am not suitable to study in the UK because I am a studious person. Meanwhile, British Education is just a business. This is the first time in my life that I am requested money to be awarded grades.

  the courses are great and all but the Student Success team are very bad. They only get in touch or reply you when it comes to fees and payment and mostly ignore everything else. Be warned.

  This is the best University you can attend, if you are a lover of research and academics.
