Campus life and accommodation

One of the key benefits of studying at BSMS is being a member of both the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton, as well as being a student at BSMS as a standalone institution. This means students have access to all campuses and facilities at both universities.

Accommodation for 2024

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 2024.

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, internet and include contents insurance.
