Sussex is one of the UK’s most esteemed universities, with an impressive global reputation. It is a research-led university with a strong reputation for innovation and inspiration. The University attracts leading thinkers and researchers.
In December 1911 a public meeting at the Royal Pavilion started a fund for the establishment of a university at Brighton, but the project was halted by the First World War and the money was used instead for books for the Municipal Technical College. However, the idea was revived in the 1950s, and in June 1958 the government approved the corporation’s scheme for a university at Brighton, the first of a new generation of ‘red-brick’ universities.
The University College of Sussex was established as a company in May 1959, and a royal charter granted on 16 August 1961 raised it to full university status, with Viscount Monckton installed as the first chancellor. The first fifty-two students were accepted in October 1961 and were temporarily accommodated at 235-237 Preston Road, with lectures given in the nearby Knoyle Hall.
Teachers and professors deliver courses that inspire students, helping you to develop skills that make your education count, and giving you the confidence to make your mark in your chosen field. Teaching at Sussex is underpinned by original research, so you’ll
be at the forefront of knowledge in your subject.
Research is the pathway to progress at the University of Sussex. It is internationally recognised for drawing together leading academics from different disciplines – an approach that delivers the most powerful and meaningful results.
