Creating a new account

You will need to create a new account on the postgraduate application system if you: 

  • are a new applicant who hasn’t used our application system before
  • have previously applied to Sussex but are making a new application for this year’s entry. You will no longer have access to any applications from previous years.

Deferred applicants

You should not create a new account if you previously deferred your place and are now holding an offer to start at Sussex this year.

If you would like to make a change to your existing offer, contact the Postgraduate Admissions team: pg.applicants@sussex.ac.uk.
