Student life

Cover yourself in body paint for One World Week. Jump on your bike and get muddy on the Downs. Chat with friends over a game of pool. We know your student experience doesn’t end when you leave the lecture theatre. Experience life to the full at Sussex – your home away from home.

Student Life award winners

We came 1st for Student Life (in South East England) at this year’s What Uni Student Choice Awards 2025.

The Student Life category focuses on the university experience outside of the lecture theatre – friendships, socialising, sports and other fun activities that help you relax and build a sense of community.

The award reflects our commitment to helping our students live uni life to the full.
