We aim to make a real difference to people, practice and society, cultivating entrepreneurial thinkers.

The University of Brighton is based on the beautiful British coast, within one hour of London and 30 minutes from London Gatwick International Airport.

We advance and support responsible enterprise for a fairer society through education, research, collaboration and thought-leadership. We promote inclusivity, social justice and employability, and prepare learners by engaging with industry.
