Studying an English language programme at the University of Brighton Centre for Academic English Language Development (CAELD) provides students with excellent preparation for further university study and gives them a chance to sample many aspects of British culture.
The university is spread across the city of Brighton from the seafront to the South Downs National Park and also has a campus along the coast in Eastbourne. Our campus philosophy is to promote a great sense of community and a welcoming atmosphere.
Our English language programmes are based on the Falmer campus in Brighton, a lively seaside city that offers an exciting mix of shops, restaurants, clubs and theatres – there’s so much going on, it’s hard to sum up the city. The Falmer campus is three miles from the city centre and surrounded by beautiful countryside. A trip by train to London takes less than an hour and Gatwick airport is only 30 from Brighton.
