On climb out we received an ECAM for loss of Anti-skid; nose wheel steering; normal brakes and auto brakes; and my [many] years on the airplane told me we lost BSCU (Brake System Control Unit) Channels 1 and 2. All resets failed. We elected to divert due to a longer runway. We were legal to land in ZZZ but felt [a longer runway] was more prudent. Landing was uneventful took the high speed turnoff set the brakes.
On climb out; after retracting the landing gear we were alerted by an ECAM message for a BRAKES: Anti-Skid Nose Wheel Steering fault. We completed the ECAM and then referenced the QRH. We were unable to restore the system. After leveling at our cruise altitude; we contacted Dispatch and requested a phone patch with Maintenance Control. Per Maintenance Control we tried cycling the Nose Wheel Steering/Antiskid switch; but this did not rectify the issue. We later coordinated with Dispatch; after discussing out options as a crew; and elected to divert to a longer runway. We landed uneventfully and cleared the runway. We then had maintenance tow us to a gate.
