The Facilities at Brighton university are the best aspect of the uni. The uni has great study areas and different types of cafes and restaurant, however the food at the university can be expensive for what you get. during my studies at Brighton uni, I experienced poor student support. i have had poor responses from most of my lecturers regarding exams and marks.

Midwifery BSc (Hons)

University rating (3)

Location is great for a local girl with kids. Some better organisation would be better between the module leaders. Last minute timetable changes are not ideal with childcare to facilitate. The extra seminars/support offered is amazing and the tutors are great, relatable, helpful and want you to do well. Campus could do with better toilet facilities but it is due to close in less than two years so it's obvious no money is being put into maintenance at this stage. Great opportunies for nightlife/student life and fun with peers

What I like about my university is the support we achieve if we are in need of or how quick lecturers are responding with a solution to a problem/s. I like how understanding lecturers are and how majority of the lecturers are making the sessions as enjoyable and interesting as possible. What i dislike is the amount of hours between lectures, I usually do my readings in the morning or at night as that is when i concentrate the best and so between my lectures i would like to get a job, but the different programme for every day classes and the weird hours unable me to.

Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons)

University rating (4)

The best thing about the University of Brighton, and one of the key reasons I chose it, was the amount of access it grants students to the facilities. As Brighton undertakes no research, all the workshops, labs and equipment is available for student use, right from the first year. The technicians are competent, helpful, and are always happen to help with use of the tools available, both for academic or personal use. Downsides of the university of Brighton include somewhat poor communication with students in terms of timetables, course content, and events, and a handful of technical issues with the student portal, app, and student union website. In terms of location, the wide city of Brighton is excellent in term of student life and atmosphere, but the university campuses are a fair distance from the part of Brighton that contains these things. The specific parts of Brighton in which the campuses are located are fine, but a bus journey is required for most social events. Overall, however, I would recommend Brighton as a good choice of university, especially if you are concerned about your ability to adjust to the university setting. I found the support available when I asked for help with my adjustment absolutely incredible - with a wide team of competent staff all proving very generous with their time.

Media Studies BA (Hons)

University rating (3)

Personally, I love my course, the lecturers are great and very helpful and I love the subject. The campus is okay, but they've spent a lot of money adding new buildings when they could have just renovated the older ones to make them more modern.
