Discount on further study at the university
Whatever your choice of career, updating your knowledge and skills is a major key to success in a flexible employment marketplace. The university offers a wide range of postgraduate training and professional development through taught courses and specialist short courses.
Many are available as short intensive blocks of study, or part-time day or evening classes. As a former University of Brighton student you may be eligible for a 10% discount in tuition fees plus an added bonus of a 5% early payment rebate when you re-enroll onto another course at the university.

Entrepreneurial business advice
Free access to entrepreneurial business advice is available to all our graduates. The beepurple entrepreneurship network is a programme delivered by the Economic and Social Engagement Office at the University of Brighton. Its aim is to stimulate entrepreneurship amongst students, staff and alumni, and develop the enterprise skills of its members.
By joining beepurple, you will gain key business skills and entrepreneurial attitudes at free evening workshops held every month that give you the edge on other graduates.
Tracey Hawley-Wright (CMI Dip in Management 2008) said: “I am very interested in setting up in business and the beepurple sessions give me the inspiration and confidence to do this. The sessions are very informative and I’ve signed up to attend more beepurple events. It’s good to know that graduates are willing to give their time by coming back to the uUniversity to deliver these presentations, especially as they must be leading very busy lives.”
Visit the beepurple website or email alumni@brighton.ac.uk for more details.
