Taiwan's connection with the university

There are currently 82 students and 106 active alumni of the university who are from Taiwan. Students from Taiwan choose the University of Brighton because of our strong standing in key subject areas of interest.

• 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.
• 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.
• We are ranked 12th in the UK for Education studies (The Complete University Guide, 2011).
