Brighton Students Job Hub

Our Student Jobs Hub can connect you with flexible employment opportunities across the university and with local employers.

Options on campus include regular part-time work in our libraries, sports centres and cafes, project work in different university departments and representing the university as a student ambassador. You could earn over £80 for helping at an open day, for example. We can also connect you with hundreds more part-time jobs with local employers in Brighton and beyond.

Overview

If you are not in living halls and your term-time address is 30 miles from campus or more than 45 minutes away by public transport, you can apply for a free campus parking e-permit to help make your journey to uni easier.

All Blue badge holders, students with health issues, caring and childcare responsibilities, and students living in halls who need a car to attend placement are also eligible for a campus e-permit and free student parking.

How it works

There are no parking charges for student e-permit holders.

Eligible students can apply for permit after they have enrolled online in August.

You need to have an e-permit before parking on campus.

Who is eligible

• Students whose term-time address is 30 miles or more from campus.
• Students whose address is more than 45 minutes away by public transport.
• Students whose term-time address is under 45 minutes away but whose journey involves two modes of transport, eg bus and train.
• Students who live nearer to the university and who meet one or more of the following criteria are also eligible:
  • blue badge holders/students with health issues (you will need to show us a medical professional letter)
  • students with unpaid caring and childcare responsibilities for family or friends who cannot cope without their support
  • students living in halls who need a car to attend placement.
• Other students who can demonstrate their home or caring responsibilities cannot be met without access to campus parking.
