This privacy notice applies to you if you have ever enrolled or registered to study with the University of Brighton, and the Brighton and Sussex Medical School, including undergraduates, postgraduates, research students, apprentices and those registered on Continuing Professional Development modules.
We may collect additional information for those cohorts of students on courses regulated by professional and regulatory bodies, apprentices and non EEU students with immigration considerations affecting their right to study. You will be given specific information about how your personal data is processed when you apply, register, or enrol to study.
When you apply to the University of Brighton, we create a record in your name, with a unique student number, login id and university email address. To that record we add information that you give us when registering or enrolling and throughout your studies. We keep records of your participation in learning activities and your use of other services we offer, e.g. disability services and employability services.

The university is committed to being transparent about how it collects and uses that data and to meeting its data protection obligations.

Some of the data we process about you is collected as part of your application – for more information on that see the applicant privacy notice.
