Working with schools and colleges

The University of Brighton outreach programme provides students with meaningful, engaging experiences with the university.

We work with schools, colleges and sixth forms to help students make informed decisions about going to university. At Brighton, we encourage students from all backgrounds to see higher education as an achievable option.

In addition to delivering events in schools, we offer online activities on applying to university, choosing the right course, student life, and finances. We'll work with you to tailor our programme of online activities and resources to suit your students.

Activities are delivered by both university staff and our student ambassadors.
