We may be the 9th best University but it still took me about 15 minutes to log onto the ancient computer they have in the library here.

Sussex has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years.

However, I question all the above league tables for not taking into account (a) the "recognised" degrees on offer, and (b) the difficult in achieving a 2:1 or 1st class honours degree in comparison with others.

For example, in the year that I was finishing Nottingham (7th at the time), they wanted to maintain their top 10 position so often gave 2:1s to students with an average of 58% instead of 60%.

Anyone who chooses a degree in order to attain professional qualification exemptions through degree modules should always check with the professional body which are the best university courses to do for exemptions rather than choose a top 10 university just because the FT and Times reckon that it is up there...

What about Brighton, i'm going next year?

 

[clapham_gull]

It's a personal opinion but I think Sussex University would be greatly improved by an adjacent state of the art sports arena.

The Times website still shows Sussex occupying a position in the 30's!!

Is this new table online?

I'd be more proud if there was a Premier League football stadium next door to Sussex University.

 

[Biscuit]

Blimey, your lucky if you live in Califonia.

 

[The Large One]

And what are we going to use the University of Sussex for? A car park.

 

[Highfields Seagull]

Clap if you've got a degree from one of the world's top 200 universities

 

[Wilts]

Clap if you've got a degree from one of the world's top 200 universities

Clap if you've got 2 degrees from 2 different top 200 universities!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Clap if you've got PISSED at SIX of the World's Top 200 Universities.

 

[Wilts]

Does that include all the open days, Lord B??

We used to take days off school at 6th form to travel down to random universities for pissups - and then justify it as "educational visits".
