Studying in Brighton
Brighton is a coastal city on the south coast with a large, visibly international student population. It suits students who want a smaller, walkable city with a strong social and cultural life while staying within an hour of London.
Student life
Brighton is one of the most welcoming UK cities for international students, with a compact centre, a long seafront, independent cafés and shops, and an active student society scene. Halal food, prayer facilities, and international grocery shops are readily available.
Cost of living
Brighton has a lower cost of living than London, though it is generally higher than much of the north of England.
Getting around
Brighton has direct trains to central London and a rail link to Gatwick Airport. The city itself is walkable, with buses covering the rest.
Types of institutions
Brighton and the surrounding area host both research-intensive campus universities and applied, career-focused institutions, several with strong reputations in health, media, and social sciences.
