From scientific discovery to global policy, from student welfare to career development, Sussex innovates and takes a lead.  

The University has grown to more than 18,500 students and has established a global reputation with more than 89% of our research recognised as world leading or internationally recognised in REF2021. We are currently rated in the top 250 in the world (218th) out of more than 1,500 Universities in the QS World University Rankings. Our success as a world-leading university is underpinned by the institutional values that we strive to enact – collaboration, courage, inclusion, integrity, and kindness; and by our foundational commitment to academic freedom and freedom of speech.

The Associate Director International will be an established international recruitment practitioner with experience of successfully developing and implementing an international student recruitment strategy. The successful candidate will be an experienced manager, able to lead and motivate a high performing team.

This is an exciting time to join the University as we seek to extend our international reach, building on the significant successes of recent years.
