The University of Brighton offers a very inclusive, diverse and creative community. It’s motivational to be surrounded by others with similar aspirations, and perfect for networking opportunities. This could only be improved with more guidance on how to access all of the available facilities, as it appears tutors aren’t always aware of how students can be inducted or included into a variety of areas of education. For instance, as a painting student it would be beneficial to have clear instruction on how to use the photography facilities, the 3D facilities, the workshops etc. If lectures outside of an individuals course are also available to attend, it would be wonderful to see that advertised.

I am yet to see internships or placements advertised but perhaps that is as I am only first year.

I believe it’s ideal to have so many first year students in a concentrated area, very good for student life. I have unfortunately encountered some unprofessional behaviour from the security guards. Overall I am pleased to be in these halls as it’s comfortable, clean and good for social life.

The classes offered such as Book Art and Print Marking are interesting, the electives cover a range of subjects that expose me to music and other areas, and there are career orientated lectures available from time to time, I'm very happy with my school!

Illustration courses are very free and you are generally free to choose your own form of work, and the school occasionally provides tutorials on software such as PS.

The school is in a good location, below the city centre, and the school is clean, but a bit dated
