Welcome to the Handbook
Welcome all newcomers to the University of Brighton and the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences.

This support can cover most issues, be they academic, financial or personal. It is simply a matter of you, the student, asking for help before things get out of hand.
All our staff are here to support and assist you should you have any difficulties. Find out more about the help that is available.
