I lost my left arm whilst studying for my A-levels and was worried about how I would attend practical aspects of my course. The disability team helped me contact my course leader to discuss alterations to practical sessions and assessments.

A great experience that lasts a lifetime

A brilliant place to live

Brighton’s 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.

The course gave me a broader view of engineering knowledge and has quickly become an integral part in my career. Studying at the University of Brighton was an enjoyable and enriching experience and I highly recommend anyone who is willing to explore it.
