Bus
The 25, 25A, 25B and 25C buses run between the centre of Brighton and the University, bringing you directly onto campus. There is a bus stop directly opposite Fulton building; once on campus, remain on the bus for a few more stops until you see Fulton on your right. The stop (Bramber House) is marked on this map.
You can catch a bus from Old Steine in Brighton; the 25 and 25A also run from Churchill Square shopping centre and up Western Road towards Hove. In addition, the 28 and 29 go from Churchill Square and stop right outside the University campus on their way to Ringmer. Travel time is about 20-30 minutes.
Ask for a £2.50 saver ticket – this is only valid on the buses to and from campus, and is much cheaper than a regular saver ticket.
Taxi
Taxis are available at both Brighton and Lewes train stations and at many places in the centre of Brighton. It is about four miles (six kilometres) from central Brighton to the University. (There is no taxi service at Falmer station itself.) It is often quicker (and always cheaper) to catch the train direct to Falmer from Brighton or Lewes.
Car
The University is at Falmer on the A27 between Brighton and Lewes, about four miles (six kilometres) from the centre of Brighton. (Please follow signs for University of Sussex on the north side of the A27; the University of Brighton also has a campus at Falmer on the south side of the A27.) Visitors from London and the north should take the M23/A23 road towards Brighton. Before entering the centre of Brighton, join the A27 eastbound signposted Lewes. Drivers from the east or west take the A27 direct to the University.
Parking on campus
Parking on campus is limited and there is normally a daily parking charge for visitors. There is designated visitor parking which is signposted on campus. Car parks are not attended and objects of value should not be left in vehicles.
Coach
National Express Coaches to Brighton depart from London Victoria Coach Station and arrive at Pool Valley in the centre of the city. Services are every hour during the day and take about two hours. Coaches also run to Brighton from Gatwick and Heathrow. From Pool Valley you need to walk 100 metres to the Old Steine where you can catch a bus direct to the University (see Local buses section below), or you can take a taxi.
