The University of Sussex
The University of Sussex program is especially geared for students in the social and pure sciences, as well as those in the humanities. The University, located about an hour and a half south of London, is one of Britain's newest universities. It is set amongst 200 acres of park land in the South Downs. It is four miles from Brighton, a popular seaside resort town.
A full year at Sussex consists of 120 credits, operating on three, 10-week terms. In the Sciences, a student may need to take more courses. Students choosing to go in the spring-summer term will need to complete 60 total credits. Teaching in the arts and social sciences takes place primarily in small tutorial groups or in somewhat larger seminar groups of eight to ten students. A wide variety of lectures is also provided as support for the tutorials or seminars. Each student must attend the tutorial or seminar with a prepared understanding of the course material.
The American Studies program at Sussex has an excellent reputation. Additional key strengths include: dentistry, computer science, law, economics, engineering, psychology and the pure sciences.
On campus accommodations are guaranteed.
