On campus part time work is available but only a few get it.
Tips: University life helps you learn in a lot of ways, especially helps us learn the value of money. When I first came to the UK I was covering everything I spent back to AED but then I realised it might seem expensive but in the UK it's the average cost a student pays. Scholarships are available at the university but I didn't apply for them. I am really satisfied with my University as I didn't face any trouble during my time there and everything went perfectly.
Likes (Part time work): On campus part time work is available but only a few get it. But if you check off campus there are a lot of opportunities for students. I was able to manage my academics and part time job easily as I had no lectures on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gave me the option to work. The average pay currently in the UK is 12 pounds per hour.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants cost a lot in the UK. In the same way, there are very less options for Indian food available in Brighton. A proper Indian meal would cost you about 20 pounds minimum. I would prefer cooking myslef but never got the time as I was busy with sports in university.

The university is very welcoming and full of opportunities.
Tips: The university is very welcoming and full of opportunities. One has to be open to accepting and utilising these opportunities. A cultural shift is a change in how academics are taught. The teaching is very research oriented which is uncommon in the Indian education system. I received a scholarship from the business school and for being a student from India. I am very satisfied with my university and my course.

BEng(Hons) in Automotive Engineering - Batch of 2026

Student life is fun and vibrant.
Tips: Be social join clubs and societies. Go up to your professors and interact with them. Enjoy the experience of living in a new country. Don't be shy don't miss out on opportunities. Get ready for the weather. The connections you make now will last for a long time. Good experiences so far.
Likes (Indian Food): Amazing variety of Indian food is available in Brighton. I have tried almost every restaurant serving indian food. I would say None of them are bad but you can find a good restaurant that you'd like and is affordable as well if you look for them properly.
Dislikes (Internships): There are opportunities but you have to put a lot of effort by yourself. Present yourself in a nice manner be confident and don't get discouraged by rejections. Just keep applying for more internships and you will find the one that suits you the best.

It is the university of opportunities.
Tips: When I came to the UK, I was homesick, but after a few days it went away. There are a lot of societies in the University of Sussex to join, and you feel like coming home to a culture you get used to as you go by. I got a 3000 pounds scholarship for my good performance in academics in bachelor's.
Likes (Safety): First of all, the University of Sussex is in a safe location in Brighton. It is such a vibrant location, and there are a lot of security personnel on call if you need any help. I have not faced any issues till now. Everything is a good experience in Brighton, lots of part time jobs and safety, no negative.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Since the UK has made tough rules, it has been very difficult to get a sponsored job. I recommend getting experience in India and then coming. In my course, supply chain and logistics management, there are various roles from procurement to logistics to supply chain and the basic salary starts from 25000 pounds to 35000 pounds a year.

MSc in Strategic Marketing - Batch of 2023
3.7
Sussex is great for a fun master's year, but don't expect it to change your life.
Tips: I received the Sussex India + Business scholarship, which provided approximately 8000 off my tuition. I stayed in Northfield, which is the nicest place to stay on campus. In 2022, the annual accommodation fee there was 6000. The university has built newer, more modern accommodations since then. Culturally, I think Indians would fit in well; the university has one of the highest ratios of international students, especially Indians. There's even an Asian grocery store on campus called Taj. Regarding my degree, I don't think it has helped me much in my career or broadened my general knowledge. I work as a senior researcher for a strategy and insights agency. Some courses were interesting and challenging, but, from what I know, most of the good staff have left.
Likes (Safety): Lots of campus security, minimal crime in the city and on campus, very friendly students and staff. I never felt unsafe as a young woman, and Brighton definitely has a great nightlife and party culture, so you can definitely indulge in that life and not feel unsafe.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't believe one would gain too much from this university/master's course that would help them receive sponsorship besides their own merit. For instance, my course did not have any placements, and in general, career fairs are few. But what it does offer is loads of extracurricular and part-time opportunities, so I really made the most of them and gained loads of experience in soft skills and career-adjacent work that has helped me land a job + sponsorship.

BSc (Hons) in International Business (with a professional placement year) - Batch of 2026
4.6
The city is very expensive and the weather is unpredictable.
Tips: It was very smooth as people here were really welcoming and you can join so many societies to socialise. I did not but there are multiple available to students. Love the course and the country as a whole. However the sky high cost of living and the unreliable weather.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus features convenient bus stops throughout with free inter-campus travel available for students. Additionally it is seamlessly connected to a train station just outside and student passes help reduce travel cost significantly.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I'd say it's fairly high as I've secured a placement which adds some valuable experience and gives me an edge. Personally I don't wish to settle in the UK long-term it's not something I aspire to or see aligning with my future goals.
