University of Brighton

The University of Brighton is a prominent public university located along the south coast of England. Established in 1859, it has evolved into a multidisciplinary institution known for its civic responsibility and commitment to social relevance, offering courses that emphasize public good through local and global engagement.

The University of Brighton's origins trace back to 1859 when the School of Art opened with 110 students in a repurposed kitchen of the Royal Pavilion, thanks to the town council's support. The school moved to a new building at Grand Parade, with Prime Minister William Gladstone present for the foundation stone laying. In 1877, the new School of Science and Art opened with a grand ceremony attended by the Marchioness and Marquis of Lorne. By 1897, the Municipal School of Science and Technology was established, teaching 600 part-time students, primarily from building trades. The Chelsea School, founded in London in 1898, moved to Eastbourne in 1949 and later became part of Brighton Polytechnic in 1979. The Richmond Terrace site became home to Brighton Municipal Training College in 1909, initially training teachers, which eventually grew to 230 students by 1950.

The University of Brighton has risen to 70th place in the Guardian's national league table, a significant jump from 92nd the previous year. Over the past five years, the university has climbed over forty places. In the Guardian University Guide 2023, Brighton ranked in the top 10 for several subjects, including physiotherapy (2nd), economics (4th), education (6th), aerospace engineering (7th), and sports science (7th). Additionally, the university ranked 11th for 'value added,' which measures how effectively students are taught by comparing their degree results to entry qualifications. This reflects the success of its flexible admissions policy, which ensures equal opportunities for all applicants.
