Introduction by the Vice-Chancellor
Dear candidate,
The University of Sussex is a remarkable institution. The distinctive ethos on which it was established more than 50 years ago is still very much at the heart of the University. Our traditions of creativity, interdisciplinarity, innovation and intellectual rigour enhance our education and research and play an important part in who we are. Against today’s difficult backdrop, Sussex is forging ahead and creating a new destiny. If ever there was a time for a great university to stand on the sidelines, this isn’t it. We are in strong health. With a reputation for inspirational teaching, our graduates are well-rounded global citizens who contribute to the worlds of business, sciences, the arts, academia, government and the third sector. Applications and acceptances for study are at an all-time record. Our research profile is strong, Sussex has a number of internationally excellent research strengths in areas within the arts and humanities, life sciences and quantum technology. Our joint medical school with the University of Brighton is also going from strength to strength, with a strong reputation for making a real impact locally, nationally and internationally. We have just launched our new strategic framework, ‘Sussex 2025” which builds upon the pioneering spirit of the original purpose of the University, but does so for the 21st century. In research, we will challenge conventional approaches and commit to excellence and impact. I hope you will join us in playing a part in shaping the future of a thriving university, with strong values that we believe make Sussex a very special place.
