The University of Brighton is a UK university of students and 2,500 staff based on five campuses in Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings on the south coast of England.

The university focuses on professional education, with the majority of degrees awarded also leading to professional qualifications in areas including Pharmacy, Engineering and Information Technology.
