10. Eastbourne.

Eastbourne.

Our Eastbourne campus offers you an experience beyond the classroom.

It’s about forging new friendships, discovering the charm of the local surroundings, and acquiring valuable life skills. With its ideal educational environment and the town’s amenities, Eastbourne stands out as a great place to study.

Students love our sprawling Eastbourne campus, which boasts plenty of green space to relax between lessons in the warmer summer months.

Eastbourne was named one of the best seaside towns in England by Condé Nast Traveller, and is where you will find one of our larger campuses, home to several specialist classrooms for our Higher Education provision, including counselling practice rooms and music recording studios.

Why choose Eastbourne for your degree course?

It’s the perfect location, featuring the stunning scenery of the South Downs and coastline. It’s also dubbed the Sunshine Coast, a name given because it regularly tops the charts as the UK town with the most sunshine hours in any given year. And given that sunshine equates

10

@escuniversitycourses

to Vitamin D – the happy hormone – there is no better place to learn in the UK. And while we can’t guarantee high temperatures and year round sunshine, Eastbourne has plenty more to offer.

Eastbourne is big for business, particularly the hospitality and travel and tourism industries, thanks to its sought-after location.

Office space, retail units and warehouse units are also in high demand, with plenty of affordable options for companies looking to set roots here. What’s more, the cities of Brighton and London are within a comfortable commutable distance. Who knows where you may end up working following the completion of your degree with us!

Did you know?

Film director Rowan Joffe chose Eastbourne for the location of his remake of Brighton Rock, as the picture-perfect setting made it easier to recreate 1950s Brighton.

Eastbourne has featured in many other films and TV series, including Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire, Pearl Harbour, Grace and James Bond!

Eastbourne.

Eastbourne.

Eastbourne is well-known for its abundance of bars and restaurants, offering a diverse selection that ranges from gastropubs and modern bistros to Victorian tearooms and traditional country pubs.

Here are some of our favourite spots to try after class: The coffee shops are a firm favourite, with many options here in Eastbourne. The coffee revolution started in Seattle over 40 years ago when the very first Starbucks opened its doors. Today we are spoiled for choice with leading chains and independent coffee houses locally. Starbucks and Costa obviously feature, and we also rate Urban Ground, To The Rise Bakery, Coffee & Carrot and The Art House. Did you know on campus, we serve Costa Coffee at a reduced cost to the high street?

The seaside and ice cream go hand in hand and Gelato Famoso is one of many popular choices here in Eastbourne, evidenced by the queues out the door in the summer months. ‘A taste of Italy in Eastbourne’, Gelato Famoso formally known as Fusciardi’s. The family-run business was established in 1967. The only change is to its name.

Fast-food restaurants remain a popular dining choice thanks to its ease and value for money, and Eastbourne celebrated the return of its Burger King and Wimpy restaurants in the centre of town after years away. A new Taco Bell also features, as well as staples including Subway, McDonald’s and KFC. The Cornfield Garage is perfect for a pint, the town’s most popular branch of JD Wetherspoons features a great choice of local brewers and suppliers.

The Lamb Inn, thought to be one of the oldest pubs in the country, sits proudly in the Old Town and has done since about 1180. It serves fine Sussex ales and could well be haunted.

Bibendum, The Dolphin, The Dewdrop, and The Eagle form a fantastic quartet of pubs in Eastbourne. Locals refer to them as the south street shuffle. Quite a popular route for a night out, starting at Bibendum and working your way along South Street until you reach The Eagle.

Airbourne.

Eastbourne attracts nearly five million visitors each year. Here’s why: In mid-August, visitors and residents line the seafront to catch Eastbourne’s biggest and most popular event, Airbourne. The four-day event features the very best in military and civilian aviation display teams and regularly includes the iconic Red Arrows, RAF Typhoon, Chinook, Wingwalkers and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

Airbourne concludes in style with a spectacular firework display which illuminates the seafront!

The Eastbourne International Tennis Tournament. Each June, prior to Wimbledon, some of the world’s best tennis players visit the Sunshine Coast for the Eastbourne International. Some of the biggest names in women’s and men’s tennis have graced the Devonshire Park Lawn Tennis courts including Caroline Wozniacki, Angelique Kerber, Stan Wawrinka, Andy Murray, and Eastbourne’s Johanna Konta.

Eastbourne Pride. Eastbourne Pride has become a firm favourite on the events calendar. ESC has sponsored the event in previous years, proud to celebrate diversity and inclusion in the town.

Eastbourne.

Eastbourne.

Magnificent Motors.

Eastbourne’s greatest motor show takes place over the first May bank holiday weekend. The motoring spectacular features more than 900 vintage and classic cars, motorbikes, buses, and is a weekend packed with live music and entertainment.

Eastbourne Theatres.

Musical performances, live shows, and standup comedy are also something to celebrate here in Eastbourne. The Congress Theatre reopened after an extensive refurbishment as part of the £54 million Devonshire Park Project.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra performed as the venue’s premiere concert.

Touring comics such as Harry Hill and Alan Carr grace the stage in Eastbourne, and West End shows often roll into town throughout the year.

The Beachy Head Marathon is one of the biggest off-road marathons in the UK and is famous for its gruelling course and beautiful scenery.

The run sets off with a route of breathtaking views and challenges - the perfect opportunity to boost your health and general fitness!

The historic & picturesque town of Hastings.

Hastings.

Why choose Hastings for your degree course?

The historic and picturesque town of Hastings combines Victorian elegance and modern transformation, with vibrant and thriving business, tourism, leisure and education sectors. Hastings’ identity and reputation as a thriving national and international arts centre is gathering momentum.

University Centre.

18. Hastings.

Our purpose-built University Centre campuses, Station Plaza and Ore Valley are purposefully constructed to support you in achieving excellence during your studies. Station Plaza features a striking central, modern-style atrium and spans five floors, including one floor specifically dedicated to our university courses.

Hastings.

@escuniversitycourses

In 2023, Hastings was rated as the ‘coolest place to live in Sussex’ by health and wellbeing brand Naturecan.

The thriving town is a hotspot for the ever-growing creative industries.

Hastings is sometimes referred to as Brighton’s little sister, and shares a lot of the same quirky, artistic qualities as its neighbour. Other comparisons

have been made to the London suburb Shoreditch, with Hastings being dubbed Shoreditch-on-Sea. But to us, Hastings is best known for being itself, and a very attractive place to live, work, study and play.

While TripAdvisor can offer insights into top dining and drinking spots, no one understands Hastings quite like we do. Here, we share some of our personal favourites: The Crown is a very popular independent pub in the heart of the town and highly recommended for its range of craft beers.

030 300 39699

Hastings.

Hastings.

The Dragon Bar is the sister bar to the original Dragon Bar in Shoreditch and is where you can enjoy cocktails and music from the resident DJ who plays tracks straight from vinyl on his mini decks.

The Boulevard Bookshop is a bookshop come Thai cafe night, offering a fine range of homecooked Thai dishes, available for dining in or takeaway.

Ye Olde Pump House is in the heart of the old town and has a stunning interior full of character and is a great place to enjoy real ales.

The seaside is synonymous with fish ‘n chips, and for some of the best in town we love The Cod Father, The Old Town Fryer and The Kingfisher (and not only for their great names!).

Film buffs can take advantage of great cinemas in the town, including the mainstream Odeon, independent picture house Electric Palace and cinema come art gallery Kino-Teatr.

To the east, you’ll find a glorious stretch of beach, with Europe’s largest beachlaunched fishing fleet, iconic black fishing huts, with views of the East Hill in the background. This is also

where you’ll find Hastings Contemporary, a stunning gallery for art aficionados.

ESC is home to many art based degree courses. It’s a great town to live in for aspiring artists, offering private viewings and art shows on a regular basis.

Heading west, you’ll find the famous Hastings Pier, which is a popular hive of activity with open-air yoga, cinema screenings, a variety of eateries, live music and an iconic photobooth!

Day festivals and silent discos take place on a regular basis - perfect over the summer months. Hastings Pier also boasts beautiful views for you to enjoy! Throughout the year, it’s hard not to get carried away with all the parties and festivals going on in the town.

The Seafood & Wine Festival, Hastings Traditional Jack in the Green a fantastic fourday celebration held over the Hastings Pirate Weekend (a famous and quirky event where thousands gather to dress up as pirates!), and its very own version of Mardi Gras - Fat Tuesday are some of the best!

Art shows.

Hastings.

Our popular Lewes campus is known for its community feel and friendly environment.

The campus has everything you need, from quiet study spaces to great facilities.

22. Lewes.

The town centre is just a short walk from campus, as are the Railway Lands and picturesque Grange Gardens. Wave Leisure Centre is on the campus doorstep and has a swimming pool and gym facilities.

Lewes.

Why choose Lewes for your degree course?

Iconic features on the Lewes landscape include the River Ouse, which runs directly through the town, and Lewes Castle, renowned for being one of the first castles in England following the Norman Conquest and battle of Hastings in 1066.

22

As you venture into the town centre you are welcomed by narrow alleyways, buildings of historical and architectural character, and a plethora of shops, cafes, and restaurants.

From mainstream brands to independent names, Lewes is a truly artisan town with traditional charm.

@escuniversitycourses

The history of Lewes is hugely appealing, and you don’t have to be studying History or Classical Civilisation to appreciate it. Barbican House is a 16th century Grade II listed building next to Lewes Castle.

It operates as a museum and features local collections from the Stone Age to medieval times. Barbican House is also home to the Museum of Sussex Archaeology.

Did you know? Anne of Cleves, the fourth wife of King Henry VIII, resided in Lewes. The 16th Century home on Southover Street was given to the Queen following her divorce from the King. (Yes, she was one of the surviving wives!)

Harvey’s Brewery moved into the town in 1790 and has been a staple in the town ever since.

Just as John Harvey did, his descendants use a blend of four local hops, water filtered through the South Downs for over 30 years, and a unique 60-year-old yeast strain, to create Harvey’s beers. On some days the Harvey’s Brewery horse drawn cart still frequents the cobbled roads of the town!

History tells us that Lewes has always been proudly independent and liked to do things a little differently.

If this sounds like you, then Lewes is the place to come for your degree!

Lewes.

Lewes.

Lewes boasts a wide-range of fantastic places to eat and drink! From light bites between classes, or somewhere to go after a day of studying, there is something for everyone.

Did you know? Lewes is home to the very first Bill’s Restaurant! Bill Collison, a former Lewes Priory student opened Bill’s as a greengrocer in 2001 and today the popular chain boasts 78 branches! Dine at the Lewes Bill’s to see where it all began!

If you’re a fan of Thai then you’ll love Erawan. It’s an intimate Thai diner that serves up authentic, spicy dishes that are great value. It’s just a couple of minutes from campus, it’s Bring Your Own, and the Penang curry is delicious.

Caccia & Tails is an amazing pasta and focaccia bar offering homemade pasta, sauces, and breads. Eat in or take away, and choose from a mouth-watering menu of pasta and breads. Looking for something new to try? The mac’n’cheese fries with Marmite mayo are a must.

Head to The Swan Inn for a traditional homemade roast dinner with all the trimmings (vegetarian option also available). This intimate pub also features a vinyl-only music policy, which we love!

The Lewes Arms is an architectural gem steeped in character and tradition. Locals say that this is the best pub in Lewes, and we find it hard to disagree. This historic pub, which is over 200-years-old, serves up delicious food, well kept ales, and great live music entertainment.

John Harvey Tavern is a popular rustic pub in the heart of the town opposite Harvey’s Brewery. We love the Sussex pies and ales direct from Harvey’s Brewery (of course!).

No visit to Lewes is complete without a tour of the famous Harvey’s Brewery (just not on a school night!) “We wunt be druv” a Sussex dialect phrase that means “we will not be driven” and has been used in the county for hundreds of years and denotes the independence, spirit, and pride of the brewers.

Bonfire.

Explore the dynamic brewery scene with Abyss and Beak Brewery, featuring innovative brews, street food and various other pop up events. Don’t miss the ‘These Hills’ summer festival on the South Downs, hosted by Beak Brewery for a memorable celebration of community, culture, and flavourful experiences.

The Depot is a firm favourite thanks to its stunning gardens and proximity to the station, it’s a bit of an all-rounder.

Great for food, music events, a fantastic selection of beers, wines, and spirits, a brilliant place to meet with friends, and it’s a cinema!

Of course, Lewes is most famous for its Bonfire Night celebrations. Come the 5th of November, the town marks the foiled gunpowder plot of 1605 with a much-loved annual bonfire procession that really has to be experienced at least once.

There are lots of events happening throughout the year that you can experience.

Including a three-day jazz festival, Love Supreme Festival, held during the first weekend in July. Set in the stunning surroundings of Glynde Place, the festival has been running since 2013.

Glyndebourne.

030 300 39699

If you need a break or a caffeine boost, Mamoosh Bakery is a popular spot to relax and grab a drink. For those who enjoy arts and creativity, BN9 Art Space at the Marine Workshops hosts exhibitions, workshops, and events throughout the year.

From history to coffee to culture, Newhaven has something to keep you inspired outside the classroom.

However, we know that university can be very stressful, which is why we want to remove as many barriers to learning as we can. If you have a problem, you will be able to talk to your tutor, a Student Union rep, or a member of our student support team.

There may also be a range of other services available, depending on your campus.

We could help with learning support, childcare, welfare, and, depending on your eligibility, finance.

If we are unable to help, then we will be able to provide you with information of other organisations who can.

Financial Support For some people, university is one of the biggest financial commitments they will ever make. Depending on your circumstances and eligibility, you may qualify for a non-repayable bursary.
