We aim to recruit and admit a diverse, multicultural student community and provide an admissions process which is open, fair and welcoming for all those with the potential to succeed at Sussex.

## Our commitment

Sussex has a long tradition of welcoming applicants with varied qualifications and backgrounds.

We work towards this by:

- providing educational opportunities for all types of student who demonstrate their potential to succeed and reviewing each applicant on their individual strengths and merits
- attempting to recruit a diverse community of students with regard to gender, age, nationality, ethnicity, socioeconomic background and disability
- providing specific admissions routes for identified groups, including those applying on the strength of experience rather than formal academic qualifications and those learners who are under-represented in higher education.

The University is committed to:

- [equality, diversity and inclusion](https://www.sussex.ac.uk/equalities/)
- taking properly into account all relevant factors bearing on the applicants’ previous and likely attainment
- offering information and special assistance to applicants who need it, particularly those with a disability and those from overseas
- giving applicants the opportunity to [visit the University](https://www.sussex.ac.uk/study/visit-us/).
