Malaysia's connection with the university

There are currently 56 students and 289 active alumni of the university who are from Malaysia. Students from Malaysia choose the University of Brighton because of our strong standing in key subject areas of interest.

• Our degree and masters courses in Business and Management 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.
• Accounting courses are recognised as an Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) gold tuition provider.
• Brighton is ranked 8th in the UK for our General Engineering degrees, and 12th for our Aeronautical Engineering degrees (The Complete University Guide, 2011).
