简介

萨塞克斯大学建立于一九六一年，位于英国南方海滨城市布莱顿，与伦敦以及各大机场的交通十分便利。萨塞克斯大学校区美如公园，既传统又前卫，其科研质量与教学的创造性与有效，已获得国际声誉，至今已有两位诺贝尔奖得主，并在全球100强大学中名列第58位。该校的研究学院、毕业生研究中心和学位课程均旨在培养一种跨学科的学习方法。该校现有约九千五百名学生。

大学特色

1. 杰出的教学与研究声誉：SOAS在历届各类报纸或官方排名中，均位于前15名左右。在最近金融时报的排名中名列第7。

2. 英国最早、最好的预科：SOAS在1985年就开设了英国首家本科预科和硕士预科课程。创立预科教育的初衷是为那些想进入名牌大学本科或研究生课程学习，但又不能被直接录取的申请人提供衔接课程。

所有教学均在伦敦大学本部进行，以保证教学质量。经过近20多年的发展，该预科不仅为伦敦大学其它成员院校所认可，同时也被包括牛津、剑桥在内的所有其它英国大学所广泛接受。从而被誉为预科教育的“皇冠之珠”。

3. 英国唯一被牛津、剑桥认可的预科：SOAS预科，特别是硕士预科，被英国所有大学广泛认可。每年都有相当数量的学生考入Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, UCL, Imperial College, Warwick, Queen Mary, Leeds, Bristol等名校。在去年近100名毕业生中有17位考入LSE。

4. 在英国唯一要求面试和考试的预科：即使申请人已获合格的IELTS/TOEFL分数，仍需参加校方的面试和考试。硕士预科可以通过IELTS分数直接申请，同时SOAS还拥有自己的IELTS考试中心。

5. 学生来自世界各地：目前英国多数大学的预科均以中国学生为主，但SOAS预科中国学生仅占25%。此外，日本学生占21%，韩国学生20%，另有34%的学生来自世界各地。

奖学金／助学金Bursaries/scholarships

Students with household income below £42.6K, a £2,000 university accommodation discount (or £2,000 fee waiver) and £1,000 cash in year 1 and Foundation year; £1,000 a year in subsequent years.

A range of sports scholarships for all students.

大学概况University Profile

Sussex is planning to grow by 50% by 2018 in order to provide opportunities for a broader range of students and achieve the “critical mass” that the university considers necessary to be successful in research.

It is still some way off its target of 18,000 students, but has enrolled more undergraduates in each of the last two years, despite a drop in applications in 2013.

Students are offered a 21^st century version of the interdisciplinary approach that has been Sussex’s foundation in the 1960s, with encouragement to study outside their core area.

Sussex has reviewed all its courses since the switch to higher fees and has become a late covert to the semester system. The university believes that two 12-week teaching periods with a mid-year assessment period improves the way students learn and are assessed.

Student support includes a work-study programme to help students earn money, funded work placements and three years’ aftercare for graduates to help them into a career. The Sussex Plus programme documents and credits students’ extra-curricular skills, while a new initiative, Startup Sussex, supports students’ creative business ideas and social projects.

The campus, four miles from the centre of Brighton in the suburb of Falmer, is already serving a record number of students: 13,000 students, of whom 9,500 are undergraduates.

The university has completed a £100m campus development plan, refurbishing Sir Basil Spence’s original buildings and adding new ones. A striking new academic building offers a mix of lecture theatres, study and teaching space, and a social centre.

The library, which has undergone a £6m redevelopment and introduced 24-hour opening during term-time, has seen a 50% increase in use.An investment of £1.5m in IT developments has doubled the number of computers available to students and installed Wi-Fi in all the student residences.

Arts and social science students take the biggest share of places, but the life sciences are not far behind.

Dedicated student social space is being created in each of the university’s 12 schools to encourage staff and students to engage both academically and socially. Relations with neighbouring Brighton University are good. The two institutions opened a joint medical school in 2003, which is split between the Royal Sussex County Hospital and the two universities’ Falmer campuses.

Sussex generates more than a third of its income from private sources, largely in research contracts. Its reputation was enhanced by good results in the last Research Assessment Exercise, when almost 60% of an unusually large submission was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent. Our analysis of those results places Sussex among the top 20 universities nationally, a position it has occupied overall in the recent past, although this year it ranks 25^th overall.

The first fruits of a £50m fundraising campaign have seen the opening of major research centres on adoption, corruption, Middle East studies and consciousness science. Although little more than 50 years old, the university can count three Nobel prize-winners amongst its alumni.

Sussex is committed to taking candidates with no family tradition of higher education and has a dedicated scheme to support them. There are also a much larger numbers of mature students than most of its peer group of institutions. However, the proportion of working-class students, at 23%, is lower than the national average for the university’s subjects and entry grades, but this is attributed to the university’s south coast location.

The projected dropout rate has crept up in recent times and now stands at about one in 11 students which is above the university’s benchmark.

Sussex has always attracted overseas students in large numbers and has seen big increases recently.

The university has performed consistently well in the International Student Barometer, which gauges overseas students’ satisfaction. Together with first years, they are guaranteed a place in university-managed accommodation that has been expanded and upgraded in recent years.

There are now more than 5,500 residential places, and Sussex’s plans for the future include a major housing development to replace old accommodation, as well as the construction of a new biomedical sciences building to complement the highly rated Genome Research Centre.

The campus is located within the newly created South Downs National Park, with excellent transport links into town. There is no shortage of social events on campus and the City of Brighton and Hove has plenty to offer.

学生观点Student view

Abraham Baldry, students’ union president

First impressions

Sussex is in the middle of the Sussex Downs, walk for 10 minutes and you’re surrounded by rolling hills.

Worst feature

Brighton is very expensive without the additional loan enjoyed by students in London, but food and drink in the union is cheaper.

Making a difference

Sussex is a politically active university; following a campaign for transgender equality we now have gender-neutral toilets.

Deal clincher

A degree at Sussex fosters critical thinking, encouraging students to question and engage with the world around them.
