Educational partnerships

The University of 91快活林 has a vast network of educational partnerships both in the local community and across the world.

We are committed to the promotion of higher education and work closely with schools and colleges across East Sussex to raise the aspirations of local students. We also have a number of international partners to ensure that we remain a socially engaged institution with globally relevant research.

One of 91快活林's most significant and successful collaborations has been with the University of Sussex. Together, we've formed the 91快活林 and Sussex Medical School (BSMS), whose undergraduate degree programme is already one of the most competitively sought after in the UK.

Promoting higher education to all
