The University of Brighton (formerly Brighton Polytechnic until its re-designation in 1992) is a multi-site university based in the city of Brighton & Hove (England). The university occupies three sites in Brighton - at Grand Parade (opposite the Royal Pavilion), Moulsecoomb, and Falmer (directly opposite the University of Sussex), near the village of Falmer - and several smaller sites in Eastbourne.

The University was formed as Brighton Polytechnic in 1968 by the merging the Brighton College of Technology and Brighton College of Art. Before the merger external University of London degrees were offered. As a polytechnic, degrees were granted under the auspices of the Council for National Academic Awards, an umbrella organisation responsible for monitoring the quality of degrees at most polytechnics during the 1960s and 70s. It was awarded full university status in 1992, allowing it to offer degrees in its own right.
