About us

Take a look around the BSMS facilities, located at Falmer, on the outskirts of Brighton. Our unique medical school is a partnership between the Universities of Sussex and Brighton, meaning we are spread across both campuses and have the luxury of access to both amenities.

What makes us different

If you’re looking for modern medical training that stretches you to your limits and supports you to push beyond them, allows you to relax in rural tranquillity and to experience the adrenaline rush of early clinical experience, look no further than BSMS.

Cadaveric dissection is a key part of the course, giving you a real understanding of human anatomy, along with prosection, living anatomy and ultrasound sessions.

You will take a bodily system, such as the circulatory system, and learn all relevant anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, pathology and clinical skills.

You will have placements in hospitals and GP surgeries from week two, building your confidence and communication skills with patients and healthcare professionals.

As a student of both the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex, you will benefit from access to the academic and recreational facilities of both.
