WHY Sussex
Quality:
- The College has been graded as good by Ofsted
- The last review from the Quality Assurance Agency reported that the College met all expectations and gained a full confidence rating
- The University of Brighton Partnership Review in 2016 graded the College as very good
Lecturers are highly experienced in their sector and hold recognized and relevant teaching and assessment qualifications.
Individual focus:
Rather than herd all our students into a large lecture theatre and treat them as one mass group we teach in smaller groups (maximum of 30). This enables the tutors to get to know students individually and quickly ascertain their development so that they can provide extra help where and when necessary.
Value for money:
The College offers significantly lower tuition fees than many other institutions in the South East. The average fee per year of a full time degree at a UK university is £9,250 so the College’s fee of £4,170 is very affordable in comparison.
As our classes are much smaller than many universities you will gain more support and be treated as an individual.
Amazing location:
The College’s training site in London is based at The School of Information Technology (SIRM) which is located in Ilford, outer east London, just two minutes walk from the station. Ilford has excellent transport links and acts as a link between London and Essex.
