Greater Brighton Metropolitan College is a large further education college based in Brighton, Worthing and Shoreham-by-Sea in Sussex on the south coast of England.

It was formed in early 2017 by the merger of Brighton-based City College Brighton & Hove and Worthing-based Northbrook College.[1][2] City College Brighton & Hove was established as the Brighton School of Art & Science in 1858, initially only as an art school in the great kitchen of the Royal Pavilion. It later became the Brighton Technical College and in 1984 became the Brighton College of Technology, before being renamed City College Brighton and Hove in 2001. Northbrook College had its roots in the Worthing School of Art and Science that existed by 1890.[3]

According to its website, in 2018 the college had "around 3,500 16-18 year olds, 7,500 adult learners, 1,000 undergraduates and 800 apprentices", and 1,000 staff.[4]

The college has campuses in Brighton, Shoreham and Worthing. The main campus is at Pelham Street in Brighton.
