  3. How to choose your modules
  4. Standard credit load: 60 Sussex credits per semester (3 or 4 classes).
  5. MODULES: Many students seem confused with our terminology and select modules for incorrect terms. They should also check the modules listed in the Study Abroad Guide, at times students seem to be using a list of modules approved by the home university and some of these lists contain modules that are no longer taught.
    Students coming for autumn term only can only select modules listed as 'autumn teaching', they cannot take part of a full year module so any modules listed as 'autumn & spring teaching' should not be selected. Some students believe that these modules are taught in the autumn and then repeated in the spring but this is not correct, they run over two terms.
    Students coming for spring/summer should only select modules listed as 'spring teaching'.
    Students coming for the full year are free to select modules taught in any term
    All module choices are of course subject to any prerequisites that may apply.

Living expenses and insurance information

  2. Students coming to Sussex for one semester must take out private medical insurance before travelling. The insurance must cover their time in the UK and provide cover if they intend to travel outside of the UK. This applies to EU/EEA nationals as EHIC cards are no longer valid in the UK.
  3. Students coming to Sussex for the full academic year will pay the healthcare surcharge as part of the visa application. This permits students to access the National Health Service (NHS). However, students will need to pay for some services such as dental treatment, eye tests, and prescriptions. It is recommended that students take out adequate insurance to cover other health-related costs.
