where will I live?

Guaranteed on-campus accommodation in the first year gives way to living in the city of Brighton & Hove in years 2 - 4. In year 5, accommodation is provided close to the regional centre where you will undertake your placement. You will be sent more information on housing if you accept a place at BSMS.

Medical students are guaranteed on-campus accommodation for the first year. You must, however, firmly accept an offer of a place through UCAS by the required deadline and return your housing application form by the due date.

At Falmer

At Falmer you will be part of a lively, stimulating and cosmopolitan student community, living alongside people from all over the world and studying a wide range of subjects. Most accommodation is in single study-bedrooms, many of which have en-suite facilities. There is also a small number of shared rooms and family flats, as well as housing designed for students with a disability.

All accommodation is self-catering, with cooking facilities provided in communal kitchens. If you don't plan to cook, you can buy anything from a sandwich to a three-course meal on campus, all at reasonable prices.

On-campus facilities include grocery shops and catering outlets, a launderette, a newsagent, a bookshop, high street banks, libraries, cash dispenser services, a post office and sports facilities.

In Brighton

In years 2, 3 and 4 you will live off campus in Brighton. The city has several areas which are particularly popular with students and there is a wide range of rented accommodation available. Help with finding a suitable place to live is available from the universities' accommodation services.

In years 3 and 4, hospital accommodation will be provided for on-call duties.

Regional attachments

During year 5, accommodation will be provided close to the regional centre hospital. Where appropriate, specific on-call rooms will be available, often close to the PRHO with whom you are working.
