Student Experience Fund
A specific fund to add value to your studies and university experience. Whether you want to travel further to go on a specific placement, attend a conference to network and develop employability skills, buy specialist software, lab or work clothes, equipment or materials to support your course, or travel to gather data and research for your dissertation, then the Student Experience Fund has it covered.
The fund also welcomes applications to support you in participating in Brighton Students’ Union Societies and Sport Brighton teams.
We want to help all our students to seize opportunities and enjoy the fullest university experience. Simply tell us what you need to fund, how it will help your studies, grow your employability skills or help you participate in university life.

International Experience Fund
This fund is currently closed due to COVID-19.
Taking part in an international experience has many advantages for students.
They can enhance life experiences, build a global network of contacts, broaden horizons and increase intercultural competence, as well as gaining a competitive edge with regards future careers and employability skills.
The funds can support overseas work experience, study or volunteering related to your course or career aspirations, to be taken during the summer recess.
Is this fund for me?
If you are an undergraduate studying at the University of Brighton in your first or second year, you can apply. Priority will be given to students who would find taking up an international experience out of reach without this funding.
What does it provide?
Grants of up to £1,250 towards travel and subsistence costs to support an international experience.
How many grants are available?
A limited fund is available. Therefore, the number of recipients will depend on the value of the awards made each round.
