By train

Falmer railway station is a short walk from the campus, Moulsecoomb is one stop away and Brighton mainline station three stops away.

  • There are up to four trains an hour from Moulsecoomb to Falmer (four minutes' journey time), two an hour direct to Eastbourne (35 minutes' journey time) and regular direct and connecting services to Hastings (70 minutes' average journey time).
  • Visit the National Rail Enquiries website for timetables and passenger information.

 

By car

The Falmer campus is approximately seven kilometres from Brighton city centre. Car parking on campus is limited and a parking permit is required to park on the site. Permits are only given to drivers who can demonstrate that car travel is essential.

  • From the A23:
    At the Mill Road roundabout, as you approach Brighton take the left-hand lane signposted Newhaven, Lewes (A27). At the mini roundabout take the second exit (straight over). At the next mini roundabout take the second exit (right) onto the A27 eastbound. Take the exit signposted universities and Falmer (passing the University of Sussex on the left) and turn right at the roundabout. Go over the flyover, straight on at the next roundabout and then take the first right down Village Way.
  • From the A27 eastbound:
    Follow the directions above from point two, bearing in mind you are already on the A27 heading towards Lewes.
  • From the A27 westbound:
    Take the slip road signposted Falmer, Rottingdean and Universities (B2124) and at the roundabout turn left. Take the first right down Village Way.
