About our Creators
Our Digital Media Creators are current students with an eye for engaging online content. They work with our Social Media and Student Communications teams to create content around community and research for the University’s social media channels, focusing primarily on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and for student communications like Experience Sussex! magazine.
Creators often have the opportunity to get involved in some of our biggest moments, covering campus and University events such as Graduation or One World Week, as well as local events across Brighton & Hove like Brighton Pride or Brighton Festival. You can often spot them filming around campus, or featuring in our TikTok, Reels or YouTube content. You can see some examples of the content they produce below.
We regularly recruit for new Digital Media Creators, so keep an eye out on our social media channels if you're interested in joining the scheme.

Exploring Sussex: ACCA
- Video transcript
Hi guys! Welcome to the first episode of Exploring Sussex with Ping and Odwin, where we will be taking you around to show you the most interesting and beautiful places on campus.
Today we will be taking you through the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts, or also known as ACCA. Let's go!
ACCA is located next to the library, and just behind Falmer Bar. It is really easy to access from Library Square. And now we have arrived in ACCA.
ACCA is an arts hub which connects the regional and international arts communities, with the University of Sussex. And did you know that ACCA is an official venue for the Brighton Festival?
For more information, please visit the ACCA or Brighton Festival website to see all the fun events happening in the next few months.
One of our favourite places in ACCA is the cafe. It has lots of natural light, high ceilings and lots of plants to keep you relaxed. It also has a beautiful outdoor space where you can get fresh air and hang out with your friends.
We have now arrived at the auditorium where many of the events take place, including the Brighton Festival. The state of the art, flexible auditorium holds up to 350 people sitting, and 480 people standing.
And this is the end of our tour! I hope you enjoyed it. Join us next time to see more interesting spaces that we have on campus.

Top tips for your wellbeing
- Video transcript
Hi, I'm Rebecca and I'm one of the Digital Media Gurus.
Today we're going to be asking students what their top tips are for looking after their wellbeing.
Student 1: My top tip would be getting enough sleep.
Student 2: Know your limits. Push yourself as hard as you can, but then reward yourself for the amount of work you've done.
Student 3: I'd definitely say getting up early, staying active and being social.
Student 4: I like to make a checklist so I can keep organised.
Student 5: Put aside a day just to rest so you're recharged for the week.
Student 6: Always remember that everything feels better once you're outside. We've got all this countryside here so when everything's overwhelming, run away to the woods. That's my strategy.
Student 7: I think it's important to know when to take a step back and to take a break, get some snacks, have a nap. So when you go back to work, you can be more effective.
Student 8: I would say eating well and enjoying your food. Whether it's five minutes in your library breaks, make sure you get something you enjoy and eat it.
