The annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs) highlight the incredible work carried out by institutions for their students. Each year we send a team of review collectors to university and college campuses across the length and breadth of the UK to gather student reviews. Students can also participate by filling in an online review form. Over 30,000 students participated in this year’s WUSCAs, making Whatuni the UK’s largest source of real, honest, student reviews.

Teachers are great but don't get paid enough so strikes affect our education.
Brighton's one of the most expensive. Not very safe.

best: we have a beautiful campus, so many restaurants/cafe/bars and more. And so many extra facilities and great lecture halls and rooms. Our accommodation is great too and gets cleaned weekly. worst would probably be that already we have a good location being close to Brighton, there isn’t really anything to do in Sussex itself.
I love the teaching facilities and the career prospects from my course, but i wish that my modules were more about marketing and management itself than random modules.
Our university is very diverse, and has many job opportunities on campus! i just wish our accommodation wasn’t as crazy expensive as it is.
gets cleaned weekly and checked often for any issues which is great, quite safe, like a 10 min walk from the area where lecture halls and rooms are. Very nice and modern, but very expensive.
Thank you for your feedback
Very comfortable environment, but beware of seagulls!
Could cover more areas of content
Very nice and sunny, love the beach.
Super nice flats but quite a walk into the centre of campus
Thank you for your feedback
The campus is located right near the South downs National Park and hence it is green everywhere. As a Sustainability student I am glad that the University takes sustainability very seriously and have incorporated many energy saving architecture in their infrastructure. Also the School I am is always reaching out to get feedback and makes honest attempt to work on negative criticism both about coursework or other things in general. The strikes by teachers at Sussex was the worst experience. Having missed almost a month of classes, seemed like a big waste of money. As a Masters student, with only one year, the impact was even worse. The University need to work on fulfilling demands of teaching community instead of building more buildings. Given the teaching staff is one of the important pride of the university, working on their demands could be improved.
My course us taught full time in person. Really happy with the mix of professors and teaching materials. Most of the professors are very friendly and invite for personal meetings to discuss doubts or queries. The course conveners of my course have been great in building rapport and understanding us at personal levels. The course in itself does not offer opportunities for internships or work experience. As a development course in Business school, ,many of the school efforts in career guidance seems irrelevant. Also mostly targeted to undergraduates. More opportunities could be created for Masters students in terms of gaining internship and work placements while doing the course.
The amenities are modern and very good. However the price is very expensive. Despite paying the second highest accommodation fees, we still have to pay separately for laundry, which means more holes in the pocket.
Thank you for your feedback
I love how the university provides students with a good environment and the teachers always take good care of every student. More, the campus is very beautiful and convenient, especially the bus stop.
Every module that the university provides are fulfilled everything I need for my future careers.
Thank you for your feedback
I can't say much about overall Sussex University but I love IDS to bits. Student support is awesome. The lectures, debates, multicultural perspectives, and the availability and openness of the teaching team makes for an all-round wholesome experience!
After COVID-19 hit the uni has adopted hybrid teaching with both online and in-person classes. Contact hours between students and lectures is more than enough. However, sometimes the courses feel a little too short; more so for the 15 credit modules
Brighton is a students' city. Young, liberal, and full of life. We have pebbles for a beach and the most dangerous thing are the seagulls who will occasionally rob you at beak point of your
*Kitchen - awesome *Internet - occasional outages but not too much to annoy you. Maybe once or twice a month *Rooms - spacious *Maintenance - team respond to maintenance report very fast

The best that University of Sussex is the studying and living ambience that support the students. It is including the teaching method, facilities, and faculties. While supported by the city's best offers, including parks, beach, and public transportation.
The best thing is that we can customize the module of the course based on what we need, even module outside the course. The course is pretty general so it offers the wide opportunities after graduation.

Sussex boasts some of the most fantastic professors I've had the privilege of meeting. The opportunities for learning and exploration are unmatched. The administration, however, is broadly opaque, unhelpful, and the ongoing strikes -a relic of their rediscence to treat the stellar facculty for what they're worth, has proven to be profoundly disruptive.
My course is supposedly #1 in the world --- and they make it feel that way. The professors and course content is incredible, and the potential for development is frankly unmatched.
Thank you for your feedback
The campus is quite big so theres always places to explore and study. The campus is full of big green spaces for wildlife but also to sit and relax in when the suns out. Its located 30 minute bus away from the beach and city so students can choose different environments to explore- busy city, quieter campus, or the beach. To improve- campus could be made livelier- hopefully in summer there will be more of a buzz.
So far the return to in-person classes with the opportunity to access classes on zoom has been welcomed and appreciated, so it's important that the university keep providing this remote access.

It is a good course just lacks in certain key fields
