Canada's connection with the university

There are currently 50 students and 128 active alumni of the university who are from Canada. Students from Canada choose the University of Brighton because of our strong standing in key subject areas of interest.

• Accredited Law courses delivered by nationally and internationally experienced lawyers and with work placements that prepare you for professional practice.
• Our degree and masters courses in Business, Management and Economics benefit from the internationally recognised research at our Centre for Research in Innovation Management (CENTRIM). The latest Research Assessment Exercise determined that 70 per cent of our research in business management is of international standing.
• Business studies students benefit from the training and consultancy work of professors. Students gain practical and leadership skills in a research active community.
