“Sussex Downs College offers really good support to students. Outside of my English classes I go to the gym and play golf at Lewes Golf Club. It is a good way to meet local people and to practice my English. I hope to study at a Japanese University to study Sports Science and to become a professional golfer.”

“I chose to study at Sussex Downs College because of the teaching quality and because it is an IELTS Test Centre. My Intensive IELTS teacher is fantastic and my classmates are very encouraging. The course is great and is good for students who must improve their English to get a high IELTS score. I am working towards a score of at least 6.0 to be accepted for a Masters in Environmental Engineering.”
Yu Tingting
“I am very happy to have received an offer to study Management at the University of Durham. I began my studies at Sussex Downs College with an English language course to improve my level of English, and then I progressed on to my A Level course. My English has improved, I have become a better student and I am more independent. I now feel ready to study at a British University. Thank you Sussex Downs College!”
