The University of Sussex was the first of the new wave of universities founded in the 1960s, receiving its Royal Charter in August 1961. Forty years on, the University has become a leading teaching and research institution, characterised by a number of academic strengths including research excellence, internationalism and interdisciplinarity.

Research excellence

Sussex is a leading research university, as reflected in the 2001 national Research Assessment Exercise. All subjects at Sussex were rated as either grade 4 or 5, recognising research of national and international standard respectively. Over 90% of staff are researching at this high level, the majority in areas of international excellence.

In respect of teaching quality, 13 of the 15 subjects assessed under the current teaching quality assessment scheme have scored 21 or more points (out of 24), with Philosophy and Sociology achieving the maximum score. Under the previous assessment scheme, Music, English and Social Anthropology were judged Excellent.

International reputation

Sussex has an international reputation for its innovative styles of teaching and for the quality and range of its research work. Academic links with every continent, over 2,500 international students from 120 countries, and teaching staff from 50 nations give the University a strongly international feel. Additionally, many Sussex undergraduates spend a year of their degree outside the UK.

Interdisciplinary focus

Sussex is distinctive both academically and organisationally. The commitment to interdisciplinarity, whereby students are required to broaden their academic horizons by studying topics other than those directly allied to their major subject, remains strong. Reinforcing this approach, the University is organised into Schools of Study and Graduate Research Centres, rather than more traditional faculties or departments, promoting the cross fertilisation of knowledge between subjects. Over 250 undergraduate and 200 taught postgraduate courses are now offered.

Campus life

Sussex is the only university in England which is entirely located in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Situated on the edge of the proposed South Downs National Park, the University campus is like a large, self-contained village, with lecture theatres, seminar rooms, libraries, labs, accommodation, restaurants, bars, shops and sports facilities all within easy walking distance. Just a few minutes away is the lively, friendly seaside town of Brighton with its great leisure facilities and its rich, eclectic cultural life.

Designed in the main by Sir Basil Spence, the campus buildings include Falmer House, which won one of the coveted medals of the Royal Institute of British Architects in the year it opened (1962) and the striking circular Meeting House based on the design of the traditional oast house which won a Civic Trust award in 1969. In 1993, the buildings which make up the core of Sir Basil Spence's original design were given listed building status. Falmer House was one of only two educational buildings in the UK to be given Grade 1 status of "exceptional interest".

A distinguished faculty

In the sciences Sussex counts among its faculty two Nobel Prize winners, Sir John Cornforth and Professor Harry Kroto. Sir Harry, the first Briton to win the chemistry prize in over ten years, received the prize in l996 for the discovery of a new class of carbon compounds known as the fullerenes. The University has 12 Fellows of the Royal Society, and in the arts, there are six members of faculty who have the distinction of being Fellows of the British Academy. Faculty publish around 3,000 papers, journal articles and books each year, as well as being involved in consultative work across the world.

Unique resources

Its consistently high reputation in experimental subjects has ensured that Sussex has an excellent infrastructure of laboratories and academic support services. It has invested heavily in the Library; a major extension was completed, including a new computer system. The stock now comprises about 815,000 printed volumes, while access to electronic sources is facilitated by a gateway to the internet that reflects local interests and priorities. The Library is noted for its specialist holdings including the Woolf, Kipling and New Statesman papers, the Mass Observation Archive, and a European Documentation Centre.

A University for the region

The knowledge, training and facilities at the University are also used to promote the economic development of the region, an important example of which is the Academic Corridor project, in which Sussex plays a key role. The project is based on the geographical 'corridor' of the educational institutions flanking the main A27 road from Lewes to central Brighton, and its flagship is the Sussex Innovation Centre housed on the University campus. This Centre is a key resource for the area and its facilities for high-technology companies and support for business development provides additional means of commercially exploiting the University's research and expertise.

Lifelong learning

Sussex is strongly committed to expanding its local and regional role. A central part of its mission is to contribute to the enhancement of the economic, educational and cultural life of the locality and it has formal relationships with over a dozen colleges of further and higher education in the region. The University is also committed to the principle of lifelong learning. This is put into practice through its Centre for Continuing Education, which offers short courses both on the campus and at locations throughout the county.
