Life at university is much more than just gaining a degree – it should be a great experience that lasts a lifetime and in many cases, one that transforms lives.

It should mean learning more about yourself, building long-term friendships, trying out new experiences, joining clubs and societies, perhaps getting a part-time job – but above all, it should mean making the most of the opportunities available.

Here at the University of Brighton, we want to ensure our student experience remains outstanding, encouraging participation both inside and outside of the classroom whilst also responding quickly in support of students facing challenges or seeking advice.

Given the changes to the funding of higher education, it is essential that university remains a choice that is open to everyone, regardless of circumstances.   

By supporting the University of Brighton Alumni and Friends’ fund, you can help us inspire people through student prizes, student hardship funds, grants and scholarships.
