Life In Brighton 

The University of Brighton takes its name from one of the most diverse and energetic cities in the UK. There is so much going on that it's hard to sum the city up in a few words, but it's Brighton's relaxed and forward-thinking attitude that makes it such a compelling place to be. The university is spread across the city from the seafront to the South Downs and also has campuses further along the coast in Eastbourne and Hastings.
