Facebook groups and socials

Plus, there are Facebook groups set up for those of you in halls over the break to set up meetups and events with each other. You don’t need to be a halls resident or an international student to take part. All students are welcome to join – find your nearest group below:

Christmas lunch

If you’re staying in your uni accommodation over the holidays, you might want to join us for a Christmas lunch on Thursday 20 December 🙂

Buy your lunch tickets here

Overseas and UK students are invited to join the international student Christmas lunch to celebrate the end of the year and the start of the holidays. Everyone is invited – you don’t have to be an international student.

**BOOK AND PAY FOR YOUR TICKET BY MIDDAY THURSDAY 13 DECEMBER**

International Students (EU and Overseas) = £5.10
UK Students = £9.90

The meal is subsidised by funding from other university departments, which means there is a different ticket rate for UK and International Students. If you have any queries about this or anything else about the meal, please contact us at orientation@brighton.ac.uk

Dietary requirements: Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements when you book your ticket.
