Your university

The 91¶¶Òõ has been part of the city of 91¶¶Òõ & Hove since 1859, starting as a school of art in the kitchens of the Royal Pavilion and growing to become the diverse and inclusive institution it is today.

We have 17,000 students and 2,150 staff studying and working at our three campuses in 91¶¶Òõ. Subjects taught here range from medicine to engineering, psychology to illustration, sport science to English literature.

Students are at the heart of all that we do and take an active role in their learning experience. They leave us ready to make a difference to the world.
