Location and transport information

We have 3 campus’s located across Brighton each with great transport links and its own feel and character:

Being in the centre of Brighton the campus has fantastic transport links, with buses from all areas of the city and Brighton train station just a 10-15 minute walk away, as well as easy access to the city’s restaurants, pubs and hotels.

Moulsecoomb Campus: Located just 2 miles from the centre of Brighton, Moulsecoomb campus is the business hub of the university and houses our largest selection of spaces and accommodation. With excellent transport links and parking available, delegates can be in the heart of Brighton by train in 6 minutes.

Falmer Campus: Located on the edge of Brighton, Falmer campus is surrounded by the beautiful South Downs National Park. With spectacular views of the countryside from many of our seminar room and event spaces this campus feels a world away from the hustle of the city. With parking available and Falmer train station positioned right next to the campus delegates can still quickly reach the centre of Brighton in 10 minutes.
