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.

Business Studies / Management, Graduate

(5)·By Molly E·Business· Jul 2021
Fantastic- really good fun! Lots of different things organised meaning you could meet lots of people. Not many halls available at the time so lived in a shared house. Super fun and close to town- lived with the same people throughout! All great. Close to each other, nice spaces and modern. You could tailor the course to what you wanted. Manageable deadlines and useful information which I have used in my job Fantastic. Vibrant and fun!

My university experience so far has been amazing. It has been filled with fun, intensity, stress and I have made some amazing friends and met some really great people.

My unis not there so I just chose the one closest to me. Yeah it's really good helped me get good grades. Developed my understanding and knowledge on the subject more. Helpful and kind teachers as well as giving good critical feedback in order to push myself to do better. Helping see what I'd like to become after education.

Medicine, Year 1

(5)·By Rosie M·Medicine· Mar 2019
Freshers week was amazing!! Every night there was an event planned and the freshers reps ensured that we were all looked after and that everyone knew what was going on. Throughout the week, I made lots of new friends at university and had the chance to meet my medic family which was fun!! Freshers week will be a week I will never forget!

I have an en-suite room and I live in a flat of 8. My room is well sized and has plenty of storage for all my stuff!! The communal kitchen area is cleaned twice a week and the accommodation staff are very quick to fix and problems we have with anything!! The kitchen is well sized and is where we spend a lot of time as a flat socialising. The views from the kitchen are lovely and ensures the kitchen is well lit.

The on campus gym is very affordable and there is always space whatever time of the day! Also, the library is very well organised and there is always room to study whether that’s in the silent areas or in group work areas. There are also plenty of computers available. The classrooms in the Watson Builiding are fairly modern and well designed.

I study medicine and so I find the course is very busy but enjoyable!! I am taught in a variety of ways including lectures, small group work, practical lessons and placements. The lectures are passionate about their subject and are always able to answer any questions. Also, the course staff are very friendly and approachable.

Brighton is such an amazing city to live in as a student. Firstly, the nightlife is amazing!! There are about 8 clubs which all play different types of music so there’s a place for everyone!! Then there is also loads of bars to head to before going to the clubs. Also, on a sunny day it’s lively to head into the centre of Brighton to the beach! Lots of students can be seen on the beach in summer either revising or just chilling with friends.

Firstly thee is a lot of hard work involved in the course and it’s essential that you try to attend everything. However, there is plenty of time for socialising and enjoying uni life. Medics are well known for being able to work hard but play hard. The med school is also like a community in itself so you get to know students in the others years well which is really useful!! Just make sure you talk to as many people as you can in the first week so you can decide who you get along with best!!

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.

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

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.
