MSc/PGDip/PGCert Marketing (Branding and Communications) with Placement Year

University of Brighton

It is a very fun and welcoming place to study. The well being support is amazing and the lecturers, student union and other staff members are incredibly personable. I love the atmosphere in Brighton also. The buildings are a little run down but the ones that have been refurbished are thriving.

Best - the support is amazing the lecturers in marketing department are really supportive and have a lot of time for us which is amazing. Worst - the lack of help with finances, I guess I’ve struggled a lot with finances and it’s been a bit hard but I wouldn’t say that’s the Uni’s fault I guess they help with what they can.

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.

The best is the amount of support that we're getting from out tutors, and facilities The worst is location ,It would be easier if it would be in the city center, other than that so far so good

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.
