At Sussex you will develop your skills and experiences which will help with your studies while you are here as well as in your future after university. Ultimately these skills and experiences will contribute significantly to the content of your CV.

You should think about all the skills that you are developing through your experiences in the different areas of your life, for example:

1. Your Academic Life: Your learning from your course and any wider study interests
