According to the HESA statistics https://www.brighton.ac.uk/about-us/statistics-and-legal/facts-and-figures/student-population.aspx
24% of the student population is part-time
19% of the student population is post-graduate or research students
60% of the student population identify as female
59% of the student population are 21 years old or over
32%-33% of the student population identify as non-white
14% of the student population have declared a disability
21% of the student population are from the EU/international

If you would too, feel free to get in touch.
