A welcoming coastal location
The University of Brighton is based across three coastal locations in the south-east of England - Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings. The English language programmes are taught at the university campuses in Brighton. Brighton is Britain's liveliest seaside city and offers an exciting mix of shops, restaurants, pubs, clubs and theatres. A trip by train to London takes less than an hour and Gatwick International Airport is only 30 minutes away, linking you to mainland Europe and the rest of the world.
