Student Support
We have a range of qualified staff who can offer support while you are studying at Sussex Downs College.
Many students find they need more support at times; your personal tutor can refer you to Student Services, or you can simply come along or call, and we will help you to find the most appropriate assistance.

Our students enjoy a high level of support which includes course and general support. On-course support is provided by an Academic Tutor and a Personal Tutor plus an extensive range of general support services is offered through the Student Services team.
