University of Brighton
The University of Brighton sits in one of England's liveliest seaside cities, an hour from London. It grew from a Victorian school of art and still leads in art, design and architecture, while its Moulsecoomb campus houses strong engineering, computing, pharmacy and business schools.
About Brighton
Health is another pillar: the university co-runs Brighton and Sussex Medical School and trains nurses, physiotherapists, paramedics and podiatrists.
Brighton suits students who want a creative, open-minded city with a beach at the end of the road and London within commuting distance for placements.
