I really love Brighton! I like the university and my course. The lecturers are really helpful and passionate about the subject. However, I feel like I’m more in love with the city than the University. The university is amazing but I think the city appeals to me more.
View moreI had an amazing experience at this University. The curriculum for my degree had a vast range of content so that I can confidently say I feel intellectually enriched. The compassion offered to students by tutors and staff made me feel safe and supported. Especially considering the altered learning structure that was a consequence of the pandemic.
View moreI studied at Brighton before transferring to Goldsmiths. The university in my opinion felt extremely laid back and blasé: the lecturers, students and staff. Aside from the Brighton party life and drinking, there wasn’t much to do on the Falmer Campus. A few food vendors, that were actually quite expensive, but I didn’t realise because of student loans. The university setting was extremely large… a lot of greenery and seagulls! Good if you like the outdoors and you like to see Brighton Football Stadium!
The lecturers and tutors weren’t so bad, but they seemed to love discussion and talking a lot. However, this meant in my essays I had the opportunity to be creative and share more of my opinion. One lecturer would do seminars outside on the grassy fields. Another lecturer was extremely funny, and made the jump to university essay writing so simple. I liked that a lot of the lecturers were from Spain and around the world. The same with some of the students. I met a foreign student from Qatar! Very interesting!
One course leader literally wanted us to write about 750 words and bring in newspaper clippings! Really easy.
A lot of the books were like textbook style as a lot of the students studied for exams that were sports based, healthcare based, sociology, psychology etc. There were less biographies and books written by critical thinkers and contributors to the course.
You will definitely find great friends and have a great social life. Especially since it’s close to Sussex University also.
