Patcham High School Competitors

The University of Sussex was the first of the new wave of UK universities founded in the 1960s and we now have world-leading research across all of its schools and departments. The University has over 14,000 students, of which over a third are postgraduates. Creative thinking, pedagogic diversity, intellectual challenge and interdisciplinarity have always been fundamental to a Sussex education. We deliver teaching and learning programmes that are informed by current research, are attractive to students from all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, and which deliver skills for life.
