The University of Sussex is the 'best place to be' in higher education in England, according to the latest survey of international student opinion. Survey results show that the University provides a safe, multicultural environment, with good language support. 

150,000 international students at 56 leading institutions in the UK (and other countries) took part in the summer wave of the International Student Barometer survey, which has been adopted as the official measure of the international student experience by the UK government and funding bodies.

Among the findings of the summer wave 2007 were:

• Sussex continues to be highly rated as a 'good place to be' – coming top among English universities, with a safe campus, a strong multi-cultural society and viewed as a good place to make friends.

• Academically, students rated the expertise of lecturers very highly, and above the 1994 Group average. 

• Well over 85% of overseas students believe the time spent on their course of study has been worthwhile, and 77% would recommend Sussex.

At its heart, Sussex is committed to high-quality research and teaching. For further information on the University, visit www.sussex.ac.uk or telephone +44 (0)1273 876787.
