Accommodation

As a first-year medical student, you will be guaranteed accommodation. However, you must make BSMS your first choice when confirming places with UCAS, and submit your application for university residences by the deadline in late June 2025.

In your accommodation, you will be part of a lively, stimulating and cosmopolitan student community, living alongside people from all over the world who are studying a wide range of subjects.

BSMS students are allocated between halls of residence at the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton, and will have the opportunity to rank their accommodation choices in terms of preference. Please note we cannot guarantee your first choice. All residences have communal kitchens and internet, and contents insurance is included as part of the cost.

University of Brighton campus

You will normally be placed in accommodation at the Varley Park campus, where both en suite and shared bathroom options are available. It is located in between Moulsecoomb and Falmer campus, with links to City, Moulsecoomb and Falmer campus and right next to the South Downs. There is a bus stop on site, and the public bus service connects with the Falmer campus both day and night.
