Welcome timetable

Your welcome timetable has been designed to introduce you to your course, as well as everything else that Brighton has to offer. You’ll have opportunities to meet your course mates and lecturers, as well as all of the supportive teams here to help you thrive.

You'll be able to see your welcome timetable through My Studies shortly after you enrol, but don't forget to keep checking for new events and sessions.

Academic timetable

Your academic timetable may not be finalised until after you arrive, as we need to ensure everyone gets the right access to our range of specialist teaching facilities. You might be able to see some sessions in your timetable after you have enrolled, but these could change.

You should also check your timetable regularly throughout the year, as teaching on some courses may change from week to week or between semesters.

We request that you do not arrange any part-time work or book travel until you have thoroughly checked your academic timetable, once teaching has started.

Depending on your course, your learning will be delivered across our lecture theatres, seminar rooms, labs, studios, workshops and simulation suites, ensuring you can get the most out of studying here.

Some lectures will be recorded available online, so that you can re-watch them afterwards at a time that suits you - you'll find out more about this through the My Brighton app after you have enrolled.
