Media Practice for Development and Social Change MA

University rating (4)

there's a lot of construction on site which dosen't prioritise student well-being. rent is way WAY too high and has risen exponentially over the years food options on campus are quite good but pretty expensive (very overpriced in some cases) the student support is very good, the staff are lovely the student connector role is amazing, very very innovative and a really true interest in co-creation the quality of lessons is very good - but strikes are defo getting in the way and the demands of tutors should be met

there’s consistent renovation on campus showing they care about always making improvements such as the student centre which i really like. it has a less stressful atmosphere that i prefer to study in compared to the library. what could be improved is perhaps more access to devices such as ipads.

Psychology BSc (Hons)

I really like the university because the staff are easy to talk to and easy to contact, and the support team is really thorough and competent regarding health issues or difficulties. The facilities on campus are also very good, lots of options of places to eat or study or activities to do alongside lectures. There is also a lot of societies and clubs which is so fun! It could be improved in a few ways. Personally, I struggled to adjust from online teaching content to in person, including during assessment periods, and ensuring everyone has enough support during this time is crucial. Even as the years continue, familiarising people with the university style of assessments is crucial and should be crystal clear, as it is different from earlier school life. Beyond that I think the location is wonderful, easy to get to and from campus and the city of Brighton is such a lovely place to live. Lots to do and an overall welcoming atmosphere. I am definitely glad I chose to study at Sussex, not just for the school but also the overall location.

Geography and International Development BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

Needs to be cheaper shops / food available on campus, as it is so far away from the city! The current redevelopment of campus is atrocious - destroying the cheapest accommodation to replace it with the most expensive, and in doing so killing trees and disturbing badger setts! Basically, these things combined with cuts to financial support for students from lower financial backgrounds means that this university is only available for those from rich families. And that is pretty awful, especially for a uni which prides itself on being progressive.

Really love the course content and all the extra academic support available. They also provide a great range of extra curricular and career support opportunities.
