getting connected at Sussex Joint – however keen students are welcome to attend both if they wish! Finally, students studying a joint honours programme are invited to attend one of the two special inductions
for joint honours students at lunchtime on the Tuesday and Wednesday, which are designed to explain the special requirements linked to studying two disciplines at Sussex.
8.

out what we offer at Sussex, including study skills tutorials, workshops and training sessions, and have an introduction to the Study Success at Sussex (S3) website.

Open to all international students, this session will cover advice and information on how you can develop your skills and experience whilst studying and enrich your CV. The session will also cover getting
