Sri Lanka's connection with the university

There are currently 5 students and 11 active alumni of the university who are from Sri Lanka. Students from Sri Lanka choose the University of Brighton because of our strong standing in key subject areas of interest.

• All Computer science degrees are designed to prepare students for professional practice and provide for continuing professional development.
• 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.
• Brighton is ranked 8th in the country for our Engineering degrees (The Complete University Guide, 2011).
