Marketing (Branding and Communications) MSc (PGCert PGDip)

University of Brighton

The best aspects is the location and the melting pot of creatives that go to City Campus, so many cool and interesting people working around each other. There isn't really any bad aspects to the uni, the only thing I'd say is a water bottle in the vending machine being £1.60 is criminal.

Being a first year I am very new to the uni experience and having two years out of education it felt strange getting back into a proper routine. However, I couldn’t rave about Brighton enough. I commute to uni and I’m based in the city campus, which is a great location. The lanes are round the corner, the beach is less than a 10 minute walk. As for the university itself the staff couldn’t be nicer. Everyone is so welcoming and understanding of any problems or worries you may have. One thing that I absolutely love about my teachers especially is how much they focus on your wellbeing and looking after yourself. They encourage you to balance your work and your free time to make sure you don’t become overloaded and stressed. The attention to detail is really lovely and although my course can be very challenging at times, I feel as though I have a lot of support around me. I also love how the building is strictly for uni students and you have to tap your key card for the main entrance as well as inside in areas. I feel very safe and secure at all times. Considering I commute to uni basically every week day shows you how great I think this place is. To make it fair, if I was to say any bad points I would probably suggest putting in extra toilets or if there are more on different levels I would have signs making it clearer on where things are. I am a first year student, so I’m sure as time goes by I will become more used to it.

The teacher-on and the level of education provided are good, however, when living at home and not in halls the uni experience is hard. I don’t feel a part of the student/uni life as I didn't live in halls for the first year and that made it hard to integrate with everyone.

The course is really good, location is very central Brighton and only 10 minutes from the beach. There has been a lot of student support but not lots of student union interation.

I love the location of the university campus as well as halls in general. Brighton is a thriving city with so many things to do and opportunities. The course allows for creative freedom and the facilities are really good as well as the lecturers.
