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 pleased 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.
