Why work at Brighton College?

Life's better by the sea

The College enjoys its location in Brighton, one of the most vibrant cities in Europe. In 2017, a national survey identified Brighton as the happiest city in the UK. It is close to the South Downs countryside, within easy travelling distance of London (about 50 minutes by train), and about 30 minutes from Gatwick Airport. Portsmouth, Newhaven and the Channel Tunnel provide accessible links with the continent. Brighton is also a university city, and the College has good links with both the University of Sussex and Brighton University.
