About the University of Sussex
The University of Sussex received its Royal Charter in 1961 and immediately set about offering an alternative to the traditional higher- education landscape. Now in our 64h year, we have established a global reputation. We are ranked 31st in the UK and joint 246th overall in the latest QS World University Rankings 2025, with 10 subjects listed within the UK top 20 QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024 and Development Studies ranked first in the world for the eighth consecutive year, reflecting the radically global orientation of our research and education. Given our strong institutional commitment to environmental sustainability, we are also very pleased to be recognised as the 8th most sustainable university in the UK and joint 26th in the world for sustainability in the QS World University Rankings 2025. In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework, more than 89% of our research was recognised as world leading or internationally excellent and we have recently been awarded Silver in the Teaching Excellence Framework.
We particularly value our strong sense of campus community, as is demonstrated by our outstanding record for student retention, and we nurture our students to give them the best life chances beyond university. We also maintain fantastic connections with our alumni from more than 150 countries, who are proudly associated with the University and who frequently tell us how their time at Sussex fundamentally shaped their lives and careers, giving them the courage to stand up for their beliefs. Their continuing support enables us to provide bursaries and scholarships for a wide range of disadvantaged students, as well as networking and mentoring opportunities. Looking to the future, we aim to build on our strengths and remain committed to Sussex providing high-quality education, excellence in academic research, and fruitful engagement with our international partners and local communities.
