Orientation programme
For international and European students
Our orientation programme for international and European students happens the week before the new academic year starts. This is usually at the end of September. The series of orientation events is designed to help students adapt to life at the University of Brighton as easily as possible and meet other students.
Where is it held?
The programme is based at our Moulsecoomb campus in Brighton, with additional daytime events in Eastbourne for students who will be studying there.
During the programme you will be able to see where you will be studying, get to know Brighton or Eastbourne, meet university staff, find accommodation and make new friends.
Please see maps for our Moulsecoomb campus and Eastbourne.
What does it include?
- Free airport pick-up service for those arriving at London's Heathrow or Gatwick airports (university staff will be at the airports to arrange travel by train or coach to Brighton)
- Accommodation in a hall of residence during the orientation programme
- An information fair to give you an opportunity to find out about the university, local services and Students' Union activities
- Tours of Brighton and Eastbourne
- Talks on a range of issues relating to life in the UK
- Evening social events, including an official welcome to the university
You will be introduced to a current student who will be your student ambassador, help you during orientation week and answer any questions you may have.
What does it cost?
The orientation programme is free for all international and EU students.
How to book your place
We will email orientation programme details and an application form to all international and European students who have accepted an unconditional offer of a place at the University of Brighton.
Online applications will be accepted from 1 June 2012.
If you prefer to send a postal form, you will be able to download the application form nearer the time. Please note, however, that online applications are preferred as space on the orientation programme is limited and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
