Student life

Going to university is about more than earning your degree. During your studies you'll meet new people, try new experiences and make memories that stay with you for life.

What's it like to live in South East?
Check out our region guide

South East England is made up of nine counties, with popular student cities in Brighton & Hove, Oxford, Portsmouth, Reading, and Southampton.

The area sees plenty of sunshine and Brighton – the LGBTQ+ capital of the UK – is a student favourite, with tons of quirky shops, cafes, arts, nightlife and watersports.

Moving east into Kent, you'll find the charming towns of Whitstable, Broadstairs, and Margate – all bursting with literary history – plus the iconic landmarks of Dover’s white cliffs and Canterbury Cathedral.

London is an hour or two away for gigs, theatre trips and capital city adventures, while the country’s two largest airports – Heathrow and Gatwick – mean international journeys are easy to get started.

Campus and facilities

Campuses are based in the city of Chichester and the nearby coastal resort of Bognor Regis which, since 2013, has had nearly £50million invested in its estates and facilities. Bognor Regis is home to the Tech Park, housing all STEM courses. A University film shows how the Tech Park was opened by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2018.

The entertainment complex Chichester Gate is situated right next to our Stockbridge Halls of Residence and a mile from our Fishbourne Halls of Residence, and is the perfect place for socialising after a busy day at University. It has everything you need – a cinema, bowling alley, trampoline park, fast food and sit-down restaurants. There are also plenty of bars, pubs and restaurants in the centre of the city, many of which offer student discount, so don’t forget your student card! If you're looking for a cheap cinema then the Picturedrome in Bognor Regis is the place to go. With the latest films being shown for £3.50, you can't go wrong!
