Educational partnerships

The University of Brighton has a vast network of educational partnerships both in the local community and across the world.

We are committed to the promotion of higher education and work closely with schools and colleges across East Sussex to raise the aspirations of local students. We also have a number of international partners to ensure that we remain a socially engaged institution with globally relevant research.

One of Brighton's most significant and successful collaborations has been with the University of Sussex. Together, we've formed the Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS), whose undergraduate degree programme is already one of the most competitively sought after in the UK.

BSMS is a partnership between Brighton, Sussex and NHS organisations throughout the south-east. Students are awarded joint BM BS degrees from both universities.

Promoting higher education to all

The university has its own outreach team dedicated to working with local communities, schools and colleges in the immediate area. Our aim is to raise aspirations and provide advice and guidance for students of from primary to colleges to sixth forms.

Projects and initiatives

Learning and Teaching Hub

The Learning and Teaching Hub works with colleagues across the University of Brighton and partner colleges to improve the student learning experience.

University of Brighton Outreach

The University of Brighton Outreach is a partnership between the university and local schools.

We have a longstanding commitment to Widening Participation and target Outreach work with students from underrepresented backgrounds beginning our engagement with pupils at primary school through to students studying in Y13 and on Access courses. As detailed in our 5-year Access and Participation plan, our work aims to encourage more students from the lowest participation areas to choose Brighton.

Sussex Learning Network

The Sussex Learning Network (SLN) is a partnership of universities, colleges, training providers and guidance agencies. As one of the first Lifelong Learning Networks, the SLN is leading the way in this exciting and innovative collaboration to make vocational higher education more relevant and accessible for people in Sussex.

Brighton and the south-east

The University of Brighton works with young people in schools and colleges to encourage more students to consider the benefits of higher education. This is especially significant in the Hastings area where educational progression has historically been low.

Supporting academies

The university is the sponsor of the University of Brighton Academies Trust. Formed in 2010, the Trust looks after a network of 15 infant, primary and secondary schools in Sussex, all graded as Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.

Excellence, innovation and integrity are the values that guide the Trust. Its mission is to help pupils, and everyone connected to their academies achieve excellence. By working collaboratively and sharing ideas, insights and best practice, the academies support each other to improve. Enriched by the university's contribution, they work to ensure that their 7,500 pupils are inspired to meet their full potential and develop a passion for life-long learning.

Partner colleges

One of the ways in which the University of Brighton supports widening access to higher education in the region is by validating university-level courses at our partner colleges, which include:

  • Brighton Metropolitan College
  • East Sussex College Group
  • Northbrook Metropolitan College

The university also validates the PGCE Secondary award for Kent and Medway Training SCITT.

Brighton and the world

International College

The University of Brighton International College is based on our Moulsecoomb campus, and it offers degree preparation courses for international students. 

Overseas partners

Our courses are taught at the following international partner universities:

  • Angell Akademie (Germany)
  • École de Savignac (France)
  • Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences (the Netherlands)

We also work in partnership with a number of other overseas universities to provide student exchange and progression opportunities for our students.
