Self-guided campus tours
Explore our campus in your own time by downloading our self-guided tour app.
Our campus and its picturesque surroundings
What is a self-guided tour?
Our self-guided tours will allow you to visit both our campus and Brighton alone or with others, at any time of the day that suits you. This means you can enjoy our South Downs campus and the city of Brighton in a safe manner and at your leisure.
Through the app, you will be guided around either our picturesque campus or the city of Brighton on an audio tour. The tour is voiced by our very own students, giving you an authentic experience.
The campus tour is around two and a half kilometres and takes about sixty minutes, starting outside Sussex House.
Self-guided Brighton tour
Fancy exploring the city of Brighton as well? Our self-guided tour app, with commentary from our current students, can also show you around Brighton’s highlights, favourite spots and hidden gems. Brighton is a fantastic student city, and our student tour guides will show you around and reveal what makes it so special.
