Prepare your application documents

You need to have:

• evidence showing that you meet our academic entry requirements
• evidence of suitable English language qualifications, if English is not your first language.

Please ensure that you upload all necessary documents with your application form, as we may not be able to process your application without them.

Apply to Sussex

Applications for our 2025 Summer School programme will open on Monday 2 December 2024.

If you're travelling from a partner institution, we will contact your home university’s study abroad office, as we can’t process your application until they approve your participation. By submitting an application you are confirming that the information given in the application is correct and completed and that you understand that the University reserves the right to withdraw registration if this is not the case; that you understand that entry to the University is selective and that completion of the application form does not guarantee entry. You also confirm understanding that your personal data will be processed by the University in accordance with Data Protection legislation and the University’s Data Protection Policy, and that personal data may be processed and shared for the purposes set out in clause 12 of our terms and conditions.

Receive your offer letter

If you’ve been successful, you’ll receive an offer to confirm your place on the programme that you can accept online. You will also be asked to pay a non-refundable deposit of £250 within 4 weeks of the offer, to secure your place. You will then receive your official offer letter.

You will need this offer letter, that contains your candidate number, to enter the UK. You will also need to keep it with you if you intend to travel outside of the UK while you are studying at Sussex.

You will receive confirmation of your module allocations in May when you begin Pre-Enrolment.

Apply for a visa

You may need a visa to study in the UK, and you must have the most up-to-date information when you plan your trip. Find out  to study in the UK.

Registration (Pre-enrolment)

From May 2025, you will need to begin the pre-enrolment registration process to confirm your details and pay the remainder of your fees.

You will receive further details of pre-enrolment registration closer to the summer.

To enable the University to discharge its safeguarding obligations to all members of our community, the registration process when you join Sussex is subject to a satisfactory criminal convictions disclosure. As part of registration, we ask all new students to declare whether they have a relevant unspent conviction. You’ll find full details about this here. If you would need to answer ‘yes’ to these questions, you must contact us immediately (and certainly before making a visa application) so our Criminal Convictions Panel can evaluate your case.

Enrolment

Your enrolment is complete when you arrive on campus and have your passport scanned to check your visa details.

You will receive further details of our enrolment closer to the summer.

By submitting an application and paying fees, you are agreeing to our terms and conditions. These cover application, payment terms, cancellations, and non-attendance.
