Law / Legal Studies, Year 2

(5)·By Plum H·Law· Jul 2021
It was well organised, fun and really mixed with a diversity of activities and club themes/club venues. I lived in the Hub and it was expensive and far from central Brighton but it was clean and safe and perfect for first year. The library is amazing and has different floors for silent study, the lecture halls are a bit old and outdated but new ones are being built currently and likewise with the sports facilities— falmer gym for example is VERY well facilitated My course covers a diversity of subjects while keeping the core Law modules at its heart. Last year I found Law in Practice and Business Planning to be a waste of time but this year my modules are flawless. Everything is well taught and our tutors set us up for life, not jsut for uni. Brighton is super fun and open minded and flat out wonderful- it's vibrant and everyone is friendly AND it's small enough to walk around in one day.

Psychology / Criminology, Graduate

Freshers week was really fun and informative, I made great friends at events organised and I learned about my course and the university at a freshers fair. I stayed in one of the halls and they were pretty standard for halls, on suite bathroom and single bed. I found the facilities satisfactory, the lecture halls and classrooms were always clean and the libraries were modern and had sufficient literature and perfect for essay writing and studying. I loved my lectures and my course, I found it so interesting, I learnt something new every day, I felt like I learned to critically review life. Brighton was an amazing city great community and very Liberal and non judgmentalm

Marketing, Year 1

The university of Brighton has a very supportive educational system. People from all different departments try their very best to help you in many different ways to get you through the year. If you have a difficulty, they tend to investigate further rather than constantly threaten to terminate your studies. They open new doors, possibilities and opportunities for you. I have learnt many new things about myself because of their involvement in my education and, when I desperately need it, my personal life. Just like many students around the world I too am having difficulty coping with university life while juggling a social life and keeping a personal life. I recieved the appropriate support from the university from many different people, which don't necessarily need to be helping me because it's not in their job requirement to do so. Overall it is a very caring environment, therefore it instantly becomes your second home, which is absolutely great especially when you're an international student like I am. As for my accommodation at the university, they have provided me with a roof over my head which anyone would be more than grateful for. They also have halls that are catered during breakfast and dinner time. Thankfully the food is outstanding, people would usually expect sloppy food from uncaring cooks. I'm not quite sure how things work at other universities but I know UOB has set high standards. When I first heard that I was catered I was a bit worried as I thought the food would be uninviting, when I got to the dinner hall I was stunned to find constant clean up around the hall and the food laid out like a buffet, everyday they had something different, it was rare to have something repeated in a week. They would have a menu as you walk in that describes the soup of the day, a salad bar, 3 different main dishes (2 different kinds of proteins and a vegetarian), a side dish counter, desert cart and a beverage section where you could pick between fresh juices, a variety of hot drinks (different kinds of tea and

Education / Teacher Training, Year 3

My freshers week was amazing. There were so many events to attend and it allowed me to make some amazing friends My accommodation was brand new. The facilities were amazing and all of the rooms had ensuites. The accommodation was fully catered also. The sports facilities were very well kept and we also had an on campus swimming pool. The gym is good with a strength and conditioning floor as well as cardio. The lectures are all very friendly and go above and beyond to help with studies or any problems. My course is very active which works very well with my learning type and keeps the learning exciting and fun. The night life was small but very fun and there is always something going on. My campus is very close to the town and the town now has a brand new shopping centre with restaurants and leisure facilities such as a new cineworld.

Education, Year 2

It's been brilliant. I have found all the staff at Brighton University to be extremely welcoming and you never feel alone; there is always support if you need it. The facilities are very nice and modern too, and there always seems to be constant work happening to upgrade them. I feel there is always a sense of community at the University which my previous one lacked. The Education course itself is extremely fulfilling as it encapsulates many different topics and ideas. The course is also very progressive in terms of thinking about the next step, employability.

Brighton is great!! A busy and vibrant city with a well equipped campus. The site where I study (grand parade campus) is really spacious and all the tutors are helpful, friendly and very knowledgable about their subjects. Everyone I have met has been so friendly, contrary to popular opinion about the south! The accomodation is really nice too, big rooms and spacious kitchens to accommodate all the people. Nights out are sooo good, some of the best I've been on! There's a real variety of different places to go and different types of music every night.
