South Korea's connection with the university

There are currently 33 students and 52 active alumni of the university who are from South Korea. Students from South Korea choose the University of Brighton because of our strong standing in key subject areas of interest.

• Creative arts and design courses develop creative thinkers in a research-active environment, with 65% of the Faculty's research deemed 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent' in the latest Research Assessment Exercise.
• 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.
• 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.
• Our study abroad programme, where students study for part of their university degree in the UK, hosts students from South Korea. Summer schools, semester and year-long programmes are available.
