Kuwait's connection with the university

Students from Kuwait choose the University of Brighton because of our strong standing in key subject areas of interest.

• Brighton is ranked 8th in the country for our General Engineering degrees (The Complete University Guide, 2011).
• Brighton is ranked 12th in the UK for our Aeronautical Engineering degrees (The Complete University Guide, 2011).
• 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.
