The Big Read – join our event on 14 October

This year Sussex is part of the Big Read – an award-winning shared reading scheme for universities. The chosen book is Everything is Everything written by Sussex alumnus Clive Myrie.

Clive Myrie is also coming to campus for a Big Read event at the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts on 14 October! Tickets are free for Sussex students and you can book on CareerHub.

Leave a Whatuni review for Sussex and you could win a £100 voucher

The WUSCAs are the largest annual university awards in the UK voted for exclusively by students like you, based on reviews on Whatuni. Last year over 1000 Sussex students took a few minutes to tell the world about what they thought of Sussex.

This year, when you leave a review for Sussex you automatically enter into the WUSCAs prize draw, where two lucky Sussex students will each win a £100 Amazon voucher!

Read the terms and conditions of the Whatuni prize draw.

It’s so easy to take part, all you need to do is leave a review for Sussex on the Whatuni website and you’ll automatically be entered.
