Kings has a formal progression agreement from the Advanced Level Foundation to Sussex

Located just outside the vibrant coastal city of Brighton, the University of Sussex was the first of the new wave of UK universities founded in the 1960s. Considered to have one of the most beautiful campuses in Britain, Sussex is situated in rolling parkland and combines green open spaces with award-winning architecture designed by Scottish architect Sir Basil Spence. The university is recognised for being one of the most diverse and multicultural, with around a third of its staff drawn from outside the UK.

The University of Sussex acknowledges the Kings' Advanced Level Foundation as equivalent to A-levels, providing students with an alternative pathway to higher education. Students who meet the specified foundation grades are offered a place at the university, giving them the opportunity to pursue their academic goals and excel in their chosen field.
