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.

I enjoyed the marketing course because I had to do market research and design a poster to sell a product. It was great fun! The University of Brighton also gave me the opportunity to study in two countries which was a great experience for me.
