The University of Sussex has over 16,000 students, of which over a third are postgraduates.
Sussex has a long tradition of engaging with business and the community, which continues today through activities such as the Sussex Innovation Centre, public lectures and service to the community. Our goal is to help businesses and organisations in the region develop higher staff skill levels through training, and to stimulate innovation through partnership with other institutions outside Sussex to benefit the wider society. The Sussex Innovation Centre, the University’s business incubator, has recently launched its first off-campus site, in Croydon. To date, the Centre on campus has helped hundreds of businesses to realise their growth potential and raise more than £500 million of cumulative revenue.
