The University of Sussex is a leading higher education and research institution near Brighton, in the south of England. Sussex was the first of the new wave of UK universities founded in the 1960s, receiving its Royal Charter in 1961.
Most of the faculty members are active in both teaching and research. These academics are also writing the paper and the books and the policy briefs that influence their field globally.
In addition to this, five Nobel Prize winners have been members of staff at Sussex. We have also had 12 Fellows of the British Academy and a winner of the prestigious Crafoord Prize on our staff.
