Both University of Liverpool & Brighton are among major higher educational institutions in the United Kingdom, with UOL securing a UK level rank of #19, while University of Brighton secures a rank of #74

The University of Liverpool is ranked significantly higher, & thus, it should come as no surprise that it is also relatively harder to get into. The University of Liverpool's acceptance rate of 14%, is significantly lower than that of Brighton's which stands at 72%.

Therefore, prospective students have a better chance of securing a seat at the Universty of Brighton.
