Location & Facilities: Founded in 1961, Sussex is one of Britain's newest universities and has quickly established an international reputation for the quality of its research and for innovative and effective teaching. The campus is set in a park in one of the most picturesque parts of England on the south coast near the popular resort town of Brighton. London is an hour by train; the city is also near the channel ports and just a short journey to the rest of Europe. Courses taken so far at Sussex for Holy Cross credit

The Program: 
Sussex differs from most universities in being organized not by departments or disciplines, but by area schools of study which bring together a number of related subjects. These schools offer students academic coherence as well as depth and breadth. In Arts and Social Studies, the Schools are: African and Asian Studies, Cultural and Community Studies, Cognitive and Computer Sciences, English and American Studies, European Studies and Social Sciences. In the Sciences there are Schools of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Molecular Sciences, and Mathematical and Physical Sciences. Students are fully integrated. Each student has a personal academic adviser. Teaching is conducted primarily in small groups. Visiting students are eligible to participate in the many extracurricular and athletic programs offered by the University. 

Course Load:
120 units are the equivalent of eight Holy Cross courses. 

Independent Cultural Immersion Project (ICIP): 
Successful completion of the ICIP, in addition to the required course load, is necessary.
