More about this camp

This Embassy Summer centre operates at the University of Sussex, at Falmer between Brighton and the South Downs, in East Sussex on England's south coast. It accepts students aged 11 to 18. Programme and activities. The course listed is a General Language Course. The location combines two draws: Brighton, a lively seaside city the provider calls 'London by the sea', and the South Downs National Park on the doorstep, so the programme can look towards either the city or the countryside. Accommodation. Students stay in single rooms with private en-suite bathrooms within secure university residences on campus. Single en-suite accommodation gives privacy, and the campus setting keeps teaching and accommodation together. Families should ask what supervision applies outside teaching hours, particularly at the younger end of the range. Ages, dates and duration. The centre accepts students aged 11 to 18. The span from 11 to 18 covers primary-school age through to adulthood, so families should ask how the youngest and oldest students are separated for teaching, accommodation and evening activities. One session is currently listed, beginning in late June; the full calendar should be confirmed. Location and travel. The Falmer campus is between Brighton and Lewes, on the edge of the South Downs. Brighton is a few minutes away by train, London around an hour, and Gatwick is the nearest major airport. Transfer arrangements are not published. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit families who want a coastal city with countryside alongside, and who like the idea of Brighton's youthful, informal character. The single en-suite rooms suit students who value privacy. Note that a separate Brighton Summer School also operates at the University of Sussex in this catalogue, aimed at an older, more academic intake — so families should check which programme and age band they are booking, since the venue is shared.
