Strong field of Surrey`s and Sussex's econ at postgraduate level

I wonder which field of economics Surrey and Sussex have a strong point in, respectively, at postgraduate level.

Sussex is known for development economics, personally I wouldn't go there for an MSc if you're not interested in development economics. For this is probably top2-3 in the UK.

I think Surrey is meant to be somewhat known for macro and computational macro.
