Your access to our facilities

There's a lot going on at the University of Brighton, and you don't need to go on a traditional course to take advantage.

As part of our commitment to widening access and participation, many of our events and facilities are open to local residents. So if you live near one of our campuses, why not come and get involved?

Childcare

Our two nurseries, One World and Phoenix, are not only open to the children of students and staff but of local parents as well. Both have been recognised as 'outstanding' by Ofsted and offer children a caring and creative environment in which to play and interact with their peers. They are open 45 weeks a year, Monday to Friday, and offer both part-time and full-time places.
