In many subjects, research students are given the opportunity to gain some paid experience in undergraduate teaching by taking seminars or acting as demonstrators. A number of teaching assistantships are also available. They involve graduate students in up to 60 hours of teaching per term across the whole spectrum of teaching responsibilities - lecturing, seminars, examining, etc.
Assistants receive appropriate training and certification.
For details of availability in your proposed area of study, please contact the relevant admissions contact listed in this Prospectus. Under a trust funded by the Nippon Foundation, a limited number of fellowships tenable at the University of Sussex are offered with the objective of educating graduate students who have high potential for future leadership in international affairs. Any fully self-financing UK MSc student may apply by simply indicating a wish to do so upon their application form. Programme selectors will nominate candidates for the scholarship and, if nominated, you will be asked to complete a scholarship application form. Only the successful candidate will be notified, and the decision of the selection panel is final.
