DV8 Sussex

DV8 Sussex is a college offering creative courses for young people aged 16 to 23, including music, media, games development and esports.

We combine vocational qualifications with employability, work experience and mentoring. We also offer maths and English support. Our centres are in Brighton and Bexhill.

Courses at DV8 Sussex are always practical and project-based, and focused on learning by doing. If you’re worried about too much writing, we can support you to achieve qualifications by using different forms of evidence. For example, you could use video, audio or witness statements.

We can help you prepare for the workplace and have links with local creative employers.

How we meet SEN needs

We’ll talk to you about any needs or support you have when you apply, at course discussion, and during your induction period.

Those that have identified needs will be invited in for a meeting with Learning Support. This is so we can talk through how you would be supported after your application has been received.

You’ll have opportunities to talk to us about any help that you may need. We’ll also refer to any guidance or information given to us by your previous school or college.

You can tell us your preferred learning style and the sort of things that make learning easier for you. We’ll do our best to put those in place. Your Individual Learning Plan (ILP) will help us to plan your learning journey and any extra resources you need.

Course tutors can make reasonable adjustments to learning activities and deadlines where needed.
