India's connection with the university

There are currently 85 students and 60 active alumni of the university who are from India. Students from India choose the University of Brighton because of our strong standing in key subject areas of interest.

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.
• Management studies courses provide entrepreneurial skills training and connection with a network of industry partners. Become an independent thinker through collaboration with experienced Professors who share real world knowledge with students.
• All Computer science degrees are designed to prepare students for professional practice and provide for continuing professional development.
