Most classes are held on either the main Falmer campus or the Moulsecoomb campus, which is just a short bus or train ride away from the student residence halls. Some courses, particularly those in art and design, are held on the City campus, located in the cultural heart of Brighton and a short stroll from the beach and pier. Both the Moulsecoomb and City campuses can be reached by frequent bus and train services which run directly from the main Falmer campus.

The main train station is also in close proximity to the Falmer campus, making downtown Brighton a mere eight-minute train ride away. Within close proximity to student residence halls, the Falmer campus boasts a newly built sports centre equipped with studio space, gymnasium, café, fitness suite, dance studio tennis courts and football and rugby pitches.
