Sussex Downs College

Sussex Downs College is located in East Sussex; providing high quality education and training for almost half of the county's young people. With East Sussex County Council we are a co-sponsor of The Eastbourne Academy - an 11-16 academy which is rapidly raising standards and improving life chances for young people in the heart of Eastbourne.

Adult learners come to college for many reasons; to refresh and improve their skills, to learn new ones, to take new directions or simply to have fun and meet new people. Whatever your reason for choosing Sussex Downs, we are here to help you with your decision. We have a wide range of subjects and courses- including opportunities for you to 'earn while you learn' as an adult apprentice.

Our academic studies provide real stretch and challenge, and prepare our students, whatever their age, for the best universities in the country. Our vocational courses have an enviable record of helping people to find good jobs and to continue their studies at higher levels. We are in the top 10% of colleges nationally for qualification success rates and have a great track record of helping our students to achieve at the very highest levels. Many of our former students keep in touch and tell us about how they have progressed in their chosen careers or life choices; their stories are amazing!
