Advice for schools and colleges

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

We can 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.

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.

We are please to be able to deliver activities again face-to–face with students in schools and colleges. Alongside in-person delivery, resources developed to support students, parents carers and practitioners are still available to watch on demand.

In addition to delivering events in schools we can now offer online activities, which focus on applying to university, choosing the right course, and student life and finances. Live online Unibuddy sessions and subject tasters running online now.

You'll find information on these pages about how we work with primary and secondary schools, as well as colleges and sixth forms, plus the online events and activities that we offer.

For all enquiries email outreach@brighton.ac.uk.

Primary and secondary schools

As part of our commitment to widening participation, we work in partnership with schools to raise awareness of opportunities in higher education with pupils in years 5–11.

We offer a programme that helps students, teachers and advisers to navigate choices and applications for university. This includes online events, activities, advice and training.

Student learning online

Online events and activities

Our events and activities fit around the academic calendar to help inform and engage students about higher education, from summer schools and taster sessions to personal statement advice.

The programme definitely changed the attitude of those children who hadn't previously considered university. It was made clearer that the opportunity was open to all.

Sandown Primary tasks
Our programme for primary schools includes interactive workshops with year 6 children plus campus visits and taster sessions of university courses.
Fashion summer school
We run a wide range of summer schools, including fashion in which students produce their own work. These events are running online this year.
Racing at Goodwood
Saturday clubs for years 7–10 include a Formula 24 club run by our engineers, where small teams build a car to be raced at Goodwood.
Student ambassadors
Student ambassadors are on hand at many of our events to give firsthand knowledge of what university life is like.
Outreach talks
Taster sessions give students an insight into an area of their choice, such as this talk on feminism by humanities lecturer, Deborah Madden.

Our staff are on-hand to give careers advice to all students, whether studying A-levels or Access courses, to help them make the right choice for their career.
“Thank you to Zoe Prichard and all at University of Brighton for taking Millie on an amazing journey this past four weeks, and teaching her wonderful skills she can take forward. The excitement and interest Millie showed in printing was lacking since the pandemic started and the experience helped cement her choice to study art for GCSE. Millie enjoyed the experience and is going to miss her Saturday mornings.”

Tasha Beasley parent of Millie, who attended our online Printmaking Saturday club
