Our degree students are award winning in East Sussex

Award-winning

Students

Many of our degree students are nominated for and win national awards for their work, and go on to work all around the world for international companies in London, New York, Los Angeles, and Dubai.

Our serious approach to learning helps you get the most out of your time with us. Our past students' achievements are nothing short of fantastic. A high proportion of our students secure 1st class honours, and many go on to study for Master's degrees at unis at home and abroad.

Value

For Money

The cost of university is one of the biggest considerations when choosing a course and where to study. But one of the best things about studying with us is that our tuition fees are lower than many other institutions in the South East - saving you up to £2,000 per year.

Lower fees are one thing, but it's all the added benefits you get with us that our courses real value for money?

We’ve always valued our smaller class sizes because being one of a dozen in your class, rather than hundreds, gives you the opportunity to learn in a peaceful and safe environment. You can use our facilities and resources pretty much whenever you like, and you will get really valuable one-to-one time with your tutor, who can guide and support you with your studies.

Many of our tutors are fully qualified teachers, which isn't always a requirement to lecture in HE. That means they understand how students learn and can personalise your learning experience to help you understand the subject matter in a way that is best for you. They're also experts in their field, having worked and continue to work as musicians, engineers, therapists, artists, and craft practitioners, to mention a few.

They're also well-connected, meaning they often invite guest lecturers in to host seminars and set up industry placements for you to put your learning into practice.

There is much more to see, so we'd love to invite you to come and have a look around. Feel free to get in touch to arrange a tour or keep an eye on our social media for our Open Days.
