¹ú²úÄÚÉä

The ¹ú²úÄÚÉä has been awarded first place in two categories in this year’s .   

Sussex claimed top spot in both the International and Student Life categories, in the South East region. We were also ranked third in the region in the Career Prospects, Postgraduate, and Students' Union categories. 

In the overall national rankings, Sussex has risen 33 places to 39^th in the UK. Our biggest national improvement was in Career Prospects, where we climbed 58 places to 32^nd. We also improved on last year’s performance in eight other categories, including in the International category, which saw us rise 42 places to 19^th in the UK.  

The WUSCAs are the largest annual awards in the UK where the outcome is decided exclusively by students’ reviews across numerous categories.  

Our Student Communications and Campaigns team has worked tirelessly with our student population for months to support and encourage them to submit reviews about their experience at Sussex. The student reviews are then collated by the WUSCA organisers to calculate the winners of the annual awards.  

Sussex was also runner-up nationally in the Mental Health and Wellbeing Support category of this year’s WUSCAs. This is based on the quality and range of support and mental health interventions offered to Sussex students by our Wellbeing Services. 

Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sasha Roseneil said: “I am very pleased to see how Sussex has fared in this year’s WUSCAs, with improvements on last year’s positions in many categories. The results are recognition of the dedicated work that has been going on across the University to enhance the student experience, and world-readiness and employability, for all our students. Well done to everyone involved in teaching and supporting our students, and a particular thank you to the Communications colleagues who have encouraged students to write reviews of their time at Sussex.”
