Love brighton uni, ups and downs

(5)·By Shezreah Y·Biology· Jun 2023
Great university for practical skills for biomedical sciences, prepare you to become an IBMS accredited biomedical scientist but also if you fancy going a corporate route they have a great careers team that helped me with applying for placements and showing my what graduate prospects I have available to me.

Facilities are great, affordable gym on site, multiple computer suites and revision areas, great societies to get involved in. Helpful mental health first aiders.

Social life is brilliant. Brighton is great for it, the SU is good too but not many SU social life facilities on site and most events done in brighton town.

Review on Uni of Brighton (Finance and Investment Course Student)

(5)·By Kimia Z·Finance· Jun 2023
Overall the university is very good, staff and students are all very lovely. Nice community of students and the lecturers I have had so far have been helpful. Student desk is lovely. I did have a rough incident with my mental health last year at the beginning of my first year, so basically all of my first semester, lecturers were extremely understanding especially one specific lecturer. The mental health team were alright, the SSGT was very good and helpful but the actual wellbeing and therapy team was not very good, I couldn't book a session when I really needed one and they made me wait around 2 months for an appointment to meet and discuss what help I need, which I ended up not going to because in the meantime I went to my GP instead. My mental health problems although were nothing to do with the university itself it was personap stuff and to be honest the Brighton uni environment really helped me in my confidence and second semester is now going great! My course specifically has mostly great topics and modules and is taught well, one of the modules I dislike and that is just a personal preference hahaha. I stay in brand new uni halls which are these really nice flats and I just wish I could stay there next year too because they are so nice and clean and new. Overall I am very happy with my choice, but I do wish their mental health department got better.

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.

Aerospace Engineering, Graduate

(5)·By Jon V·Aerospace Engineering· Jul 2021
Freshers week was great. I met a lot of lovely people who became my friends all through my uni life, and up to now. It was great time to build your character! Luckily, i lived only 30-40 mins drive away so I stayed in my parents house. I could always easily travel to uni and to party! Brighton has 5 campuses, we were allowed to use any of the 5 if we wished to. I was in Moulsecoomb but often Studied at Falmer for group studies. All different branches of engineering have about 80-90% of the same modules until our final year. I found this helpful when we are grouped by lecturers for a project as we could learn from other students too who focuses on a different branch (auto/mechanical/aero/electrical/automative). Brighton is young, diverse, and vibrant so the city life is always lively! It's always a good time, especially at night!

Education / Teacher Training, Year 3

(5)·By Louise C·Education / Teacher Training· Jul 2021
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.

Psychology / Criminology, Year 2

Best opportunity to make friends. You discover the ins and outs of Brighton's night life. No club/pub/bar is the same!! Different atmosphere everywhere you go I lived on campus so was nice and easy. Halls were ok good condition etc. Living in campus was an amazing opportunity to make friends. Couldn't fault it Library was amazing very easily accessible, lots of space and availability. Student union was nice and was made to look fun and welcoming. The course i study is extremely interesting and very current to today's world. The lecturers were all very knowledgeable and love their subject which makes it easier for us students to love it too Amazing. I lived in London before I came to uni so it's easy for me to compare but neither are the same. Brighton is full of free souls, no one judges another person. No one looks the same. Everyone dresses how they want. It's amazing

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

Amazing experience, being down by the coasts is really good for your mental health. Really amazing, the facilities and the halls is very new! The catered halls is amazing with dinner and breakfast provided! In the halls there's kitchen if you wanted to cook your own meals! The gym In the uni was state of the art, great Olympic weight lifting equipment with good gym instructor staff, gym was very easily assessable with swimming pool and other activities like basketball, football pitches indoor and 4G pitch outdoor Really good lecturers for the course, with good placements readily available. Great support from the tutors and lecturers throughout the course Amazing city, nice and chilled. Loads of things to do in brighton and nightlife is amazing.
