Brighton, our city

Brighton is a special place to live. It’s stimulating, exciting, inclusive and friendly: big enough to be inspiring and small enough to feel like home. A city with a beach on the edge of beautiful countryside, Brighton is a place where everyone belongs.

A true student city

We have a real affinity with our city; Brighton is a place that looks at the world differently. Independent and inclusive, it attracts all kinds of people, often united by a commitment to positive change.

It’s also a true student city – around 14% of people living here are studying.

Its reputation for fun goes without saying, but it’s also known for being forward-thinking – it leads the way in arts, creative technology and the environment, and there are amazing opportunities to build on your studies by getting involved in city life.
