Sussex has been ranked in the top 150 unis worldwide

We beat Brighton, obviously

The University of Sussex has retained a spot in the 150 best universities in the world, ranking 149th.

Despite falling slightly from last year’s rankings, where we played 140, our 149th spot means we are still maintaining a place on the world stage against 980 institutions from 79 different countries.

The league table judges universities standards of teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

Whilst we remain in the top 150, Brighton was ranked in the top 600-800 group for the second year running.

Unsurprisingly, Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial all took the top spots.

London South Bank, Robert Gordon and Sheffield Hallam all ranked bottom of the list.
