Brighton Effect

The Brighton Effect is that ripple of energy that grows with you during your time at the University of Brighton, and throughout your life. Uniquely individual, you carry it with you through time, careers, passions, curiosities, travel, discoveries, teaching and learnings.

Share how your time at Brighton shaped your career, impacted your life and gave you that unique effect on your personal and professional successes.

We will recognise and celebrate these achievements, both big and small, through a Brighton Effect showcase that will launch in the summer. Alumni featured in the showcase will be able to share their Brighton Effect through a social media toolkit to celebrate their achievements with friends, family and colleagues around the world.

Your individual story, advice and wisdom will become part of a collective voice aimed at inspiring and supporting our students as they write their very own Brighton stories. Complete the story submission form to share your Brighton Effect. Be part of a truly inspiring community.
