What are the benefits of studying abroad?
Studying abroad is a unique and enriching experience that will give you a global perspective.

"My parents are multi-national and so, I grew up in various countries around the world. Having grown up in so many different places, it was important for me to feel like I could finally put some roots in a city that I love so much. I fell in love with the education system at Sussex University, I fell in love with the faculty at the international study centre. I fell in love with the facilities and the opportunities are thrown my way and there's so many things that I can never be thankful and grateful enough for. I was so deeply embedded in the Sussex community. So massively diverse in landscapes, people, stories, vibes, whatever you want to call it from the beautiful beach to the incredible south downs, that is up in Falmer. Devils Dyke which is just a walk away. Seven Sisters, it's insane how much you can vary, what you want to do in the City just go where your heart feels like it's home and Sussex feels like home to me now."
