A brilliant place to live

Brighton is an exciting city, loved for being original, creative and forward thinking. You’ll find us at locations across Brighton and along the coast in Eastbourne. Wherever you’re based you’ll enjoy a fantastic coastal location and be within easy reach of London.

My experience at the University of Brighton will be of immense value in the future development of my career in the tourism industry. The focus of my studies has been practical and the teaching staff has been helpful, stimulating and encouraging.
