University open days

Published 17 September 2012

The doors to multi-million-pound buildings and facilities will be thrown open to show prospective students, parents, friends and carers what is on offer at the University of Brighton.

Open days starting this month (September) will include presentations, opportunities to find out about courses, and tours of campus buildings including the new £23m Huxley Building in Moulsecoomb, Brighton, home to pharmacy and biomolecular sciences, the new £7.6m sports hall at Falmer, sports labs in Eastbourne and a look at a brand new £10m second campus building in Hastings.

Staff and current students will be on hand to discuss courses, student accommodation, university life and financial support including grants, bursaries and scholarships. Carl Griffiths, the university's Education Liaison Officer, said: "These are the best way to explore facilities, to discuss the wide variety of courses we offer, and to see how welcoming and vibrant our campuses are in Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings."
