Partner, family or friend of a University of Brighton student?
Research has shown that success of students studying at university is greatly assisted by good support from their partners, families and friends. This section contains information to help you understand what they will be doing and how you can help, support and encourage them.
Coming to university is a big step for all students. Whether the student lives in or near Brighton already, is returning to study after a few years away from education, or perhaps they have moved hundreds of miles and are now living independently for the first time. There are lots of new experiences to deal with, and while you may expect this kind of experience to be exciting and enjoyable, it can also sometimes be hard to manage.
There are many people across the university who can provide emotional, practical and academic support to help students throughout their time at the university.
