Falmer campus

Set in the South Downs, our Falmer campus is around four miles from Brighton city centre. Brighton and Hove Albion's Amex stadium and beautiful Stanmer Park are right next door.

This campus is home to our School of Education, part of School of Sport and Health Sciences and part of School of Humanities and Social Sciences.

From the start of the academic year 2023–24 our School of Humanities and Social Sciences will move to the Moulsecoomb campus.
