Sounds like you can do it :P
Officially their requirements are AAA for my course, however, they were in clearing last year with ABB for a long time
Also, I had a chat with the admissions tutor and he said I'd get in with ABB so... 😁😁😁
I've got A in A2 Maths already so I only need B's in Physics and Further Maths really!

-Where are you from? I'm from Sweden!
-What Course(s) are you applying for? I've applied for an English course through my Swedish university and will begin in january 2015.. And I just realised that this thread most likely was for students starting autumn 2015, but yeah. x)
-Acheived Grades Not translatable, but I've almost the highest grade in every subject.
-Offers when they come in - I'm 99% sure I'll come in, since my grades are good enough and because I don't have to write an personal statement (applied through my Swedish uni) that doesn't count in.
-Why Sussex?? Because I really wanted to study English at a university in England and Sussex was the Uni my Swedish uni could offer! Originally I thought about studying fashion history at University of Brighton, but I changed my mind.

I love the Swedish people so much haha, Brighton must have good links with the country as there were quite a few Swedes at the open day I went to

Hey! I'm from Cambridge applying for Drama XD I'm predicted 3Bs so it might be a stretch to get an interview but I'm hoping I will as I'm working so damn hard! Sussex is just so lovely and the course is perfect for what I want to learn about fingers crossed!

Anyone had a look at accommodation and decided where they'd like to live?
Seems quite expensive 😨

Hi, I'm applying to do English at Sussex next year. I'm on a gap year now and I've got AAB which is their grade requirement, so I've got a fairly good shot at getting a place. I was so impressed when I went to the open day; Brighton has so much going for it, and Sussex does have a good reputation going for it even if it has dropped down the tables recently due to student protests. I'm just finishing up my personal statement- good luck to everyone applying! :smile:

Ah, yes! UK in general is a very popular choice for Swedes, especially London and Brighton.. However, Brighton is the only place where we can study at a university for free. In Sweden, all the unis are free but we have to pay the bloody tuition fee if we apply through UCAS - something we can slip past if we apply through one of the top universities in Sweden (University of Gothenburg) which has a course situated in Brighton; perfect!

But... the course is very popular and the places few, so you need almost perfect grades to be able to go there :frown:
