College facilities for students

City College benefits from top facilities

The College has three main campuses and two smaller sites in Brighton and Hove. Our Central College campus is located in the centre of the ‘city by the sea’. Brighton is a major educational centre with a large international student population who enjoy its relaxed, cosmopolitan air, buzzing nightlife and thriving culture.

Our City College East campus (located close to Brighton Marina) includes state-of-the-art dance and music practice studios, journalist news room, sports facilities for Public Services and Sports courses as well as housing our 14-16 Construction Trade Centre and Brickwork department.

Our West campus, the Connaught Centre, based in the centre of Hove, is our Adult and Community Centre, offering hundreds of interesting hobby and leisure courses.

We also have the benefits of:

Students Union - Providing support, advice, enrichment, activities and a voice for all students during their time at City College Brighton and Hove.
Refectory - Providing high quality sustenance for students, at affordable prices. Chefs from local restaurants visit regularly with cuisine from around the world!
Library Resource Centre - a large, well equipped, library with audio-visual resources and learning zones.
Reception - A friendly greeting at our state-of-the-art reception

All part-time students are able to join the National Union of Students and receive the NUS card. This offers discounts both locally and nationally at cinemas, music stores, clubs, clothes stores, hairdressers and restaurants.
