About University of Sussex
The University of Sussex is a prestigious public research university situated in Falmer on the outskirts of Brighton, East Sussex, England. Established in 1961 as the pioneer of the UK's 'plate glass' generation of universities, Sussex received its Royal Charter in August 1961. The university is celebrated worldwide for its interdisciplinary spirit, progressive academic culture, and its striking red-brick and vaulted-concrete modernist campus designed by celebrated architect Sir Basil Spence (with Falmer House designated as a Grade I listed heritage building). Sussex is internationally acclaimed as the world's leading center for Development Studies (consistently ranked #1 globally by the QS World University Rankings in partnership with the Institute of Development Studies - IDS). It also houses the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU, a world pioneer in innovation, sustainability, and climate policy), the EQUIS and AMBA accredited University of Sussex Business School, Sussex Neuroscience, and the Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS). Sussex is uniquely located entirely within the tranquil green boundaries of the South Downs National Park, just nine minutes by train from central Brighton's vibrant coastline and approximately one hour south of central London.
