Ghana's connection with the university

There are currently 3 students and 12 active alumni of the university who are from Ghana. Students from Ghana choose the University of Brighton because of our strong standing in key subject areas of interest.

• 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). Seventy per cent of our research in business management is of international standing according to the latest Research Assessment Exercise.
• Business studies students benefit from the training and consultancy work of professors. Students gain practical and leadership skills in an active research community.
• Management studies courses provide entrepreneurial skills training and connection with a network of industry partners. You can become an independent thinker through collaboration with experienced professors who share real-world knowledge with students.
• We are ranked 17th in the UK for our Building degrees (The Complete University Guide, 2011).
