Morphology
university + of + Sussex
The phrase names an institution by combining 'university' (a place that grants degrees) with the place-name 'Sussex' via the linking preposition 'of', so its meaning—a university located in Sussex—is directly derivable from the parts. This compositional place-naming pattern is cross-linguistically common, making it immediately comprehensible to B1 learners who know the constituents.
Etymology
University of Sussex takes its name from the county of Sussex near Brighton and was started in 1961 as a new university with a purpose-built, modern campus. That's why University of Sussex now refers to 'a public university in Brighton known for its research and modern campus'.
