Greater Brighton Metropolitan College

Greater Brighton Metropolitan College

Greater Brighton Metropolitan College (MET) was created from the merger of City College Brighton and Northbrook College Sussex. It is the college for our City and our region and draws on 150 years of heritage, history and experience.

We offer a comprehensive range of qualifications for 16 year olds leaving school, full and part time courses for adults, apprenticeships, professional qualifications and university degrees. The MET operates across five campuses in Brighton, Shoreham, Worthing and we teach around 3,500 16-18 year olds, 7,500 adult learners, 1,000 undergraduates and 800 apprentices.

More than 1,000 expert staff work with our students to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to prepare them for the world of work - to encourage support and inspire them. The MET helps to build the self belief, confidence and bravery our students need to meet and exceed their aspirations.

At the MET we believe it's our job to celebrate ambition, unlock potential and transform lives.

The Ofsted report states that learners receive good quality education and training in well-managed study programmes, feel safe at the College and are well-supported to develop their personal and career aspirations. Achievement rates are good, while learners are engaged and respectful towards each other and to staff.

The MET's courses are industry-led, with an emphasis on employability, enterprise and entrepreneurship. Courses include live projects and work placements, and many have the endorsement of professional bodies. Teaching staff are industry-experts.
