College facilities for students

City College benefits from top facilities

The College has two main campuses and a plumbing campus 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.
