At this stage, the university took on University Centre Hastings as its fifth campus and its name was changed to University of Brighton in Hastings. The University of Brighton in Hastings now offers undergraduate degrees in more than 30 subjects including: Applied Social Science, Human and Environmental Biology, Broadcast Journalism, Broadcast Media, Computing, Community History, Education, English Literature, Mathematics, Media Studies, Nursing/Midwifery and Sociology. A second university building in Priory Square, designed by Proctor and Matthews Architects, opened in 2012 and the university campus now caters for almost 1,000 students.
