International Foundation Year Social Sciences with Maths

University of Sussex

Best: interactive and diverse activities on campus Library Student Centre Worst: lack of shops +expensive food and drinks (Coop, Social Impact cafe)

There are a ton of spaces on campus to go and study, most buildings have study areas that are both in high traffic areas but also secluded quite areas that are great for doing some work in peace! I enjoy how many different lectureres I have across my modules, as they all have different personal experiences they share, as well as all obviously being very knowlegedable in particular areas. As someone looking to do a geography degree after this foundation year, the social science foundation year includes certain topics im not that interested in and can find quite boring to study. However I have also found topics that despite not having any prior interest in, have become some of my most enjoyable topics to learn and read about. I enjoy some modules more than others but overall the study experience is positive and feels valuable for studying a degree from next year onwards at Sussex.

I love the campus and the library. The facilities are really good and the support is really helpful. Get rid of the Sussex mobile app please.

It has an amazing library, I love studying and doing work there. The area is also lovely and the only issue is the construction it’s quite loud.

I love the location. I’d like better facilities for example the on campus coop has inflated prices which i’d rather they not have.
