Want some advice about University?
The University of Brighton Compact is a partnership with over 50 schools and colleges in Sussex and beyond. Through Compact, the University is leading efforts to encourage participation in higher education.
Find out if your school/college is part of the Compact.
Even if your school isn’t a partner, you can still take advantage of some of the Compact resources below.
How can the Compact benefit me?
Students studying at Compact partner schools and colleges can benefit from workshops and impartial advice, no matter which university you plan on applying to.
If you are applying to the University of Brighton you will also qualify for extra benefits, including guaranteed offers or interviews on some of the courses. You could also be eligible for financial help with a Compact Plus bursary.
If we know you are a student at a Compact school or college we can check if you are eligible for a guaranteed interview or offer.
Not all students have the same opportunities, and for some people the transition from school or college to university is more challenging. To enable these students to go on to university we have developed the Compact Plus programme.
If you go on to study at the University of Brighton you may also be eligible for a Compact Plus bursary and opportunities to work part-time for the university.
Am I eligible for the Compact Plus programme?
We look at each application individually, so please let us know of any other circumstances you would like us to consider. To check your eligibility and get an application form contact the Compact Plus team at the University of Brighton: compactplus@brighton.ac.uk or 01273 641043.
Not at a Compact school or on the Compact Plus programme? – we can still help!
If you do not attend a Compact school/college, the University of Brighton and UCAS still has a range of resources and information to help you with your journey to university, no matter where you choose to study.
We have a great workbook, ‘A guide to university’, for students in Years 12 and 13 that we work with on the Compact Plus programme.This workbook helps them to think about the decisions they have and their next steps. We have now shared this Compact Workbook with the Take OFF site so you can access this information and help too.
