The University of Brighton
From small beginnings in 1850s Brighton, the University of Brighton has grown to a complex and diverse institution based in two locations across the south coast of England.
Our ethos is defined by four core values: inclusivity, sustainability, creativity, partnership.
Our students are part of a dynamic, diverse and creative community that embraces partnership working and that makes a positive difference to society.
Southcoast Conferences & Events
Southcoast Conferences and Events are the in-house event team for the University of Brighton. They deliver a range of university events such as graduation ceremonies and support international conferences hosted here at the university. The team of event professionals work hard to ensure that delegates get a real sense of the city when they are attending our events and work closely with the local tourist attractions.
As part of our commitment to the university, Southcoast Conferences & Events offer paid employment opportunities for our students to work alongside us as our event team support delegates on the day.
