Experience funds

Student Experience Fund

A specific fund to help you develop your employability skills through training, attendance at an event or conference, to support an extra-curricular placement or whatever you need to help you build the skills you need for your career.  

We want to help all our students to seize opportunities and enjoy the fullest university experience. Simply tell us what you need to fund, and how it will help grow your employability skills.

Is this fund for me?

Undergraduate University of Brighton students can apply. See full terms and conditions.

What does it provide?

Grants of up to £250.

How many grants are available?

Up to 20 awards are available this funding round.

When and how can I apply?

The fund is currently closed and will reopen in the 2022–23 academic year.

The funding has allowed me to get access to the course I need in order to teach trampolining in schools. Giving me the opportunity to offer more students a wider education and hopefully find a sport they love! This has allowed me to widen my knowledge and capabilities of teach within secondary schools. I can deliver a wider curriculum of sports to my future students, and do so safely. I can’t wait to start teaching trampolining in schools.

International experience

Taking part in an international experience has many advantages. It can enhance life experiences, help you build a global network of contacts, broaden your horizons and increase intercultural competence, as well as giving you a competitive edge with regards future careers and employability skills.

This year the university is participating in the Turing Scheme that aims to support overseas mobility for students. The programme can provide living costs for students taking up a work or study opportunity of two weeks or longer. 

Find out more about the scheme and how you can apply.

School of Business and Law placement scholarships

Are you interested in undertaking a year-long placement in industry as part of your undergraduate business or law degree? Are you finding it difficult to fund a year-long placement in industry? Would some funding help you kick-start a placement year whether you need help for clothes for an interview, travel to an interview or to support your relocation for the year? You must be enrolled to study an undergraduate business course at the University of Brighton. Please see full terms and conditions.

What does it provide? 

Up to £2,000 towards your placement year. 

How many scholarships are available? 

There are up to ten scholarships available this year. 

When and how can I apply? 

Please apply through this online application form. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until 31 May 2022.

Balancing study and part-time work during my master's has been a challenge, particularly during the coronavirus crisis. This grant has removed a bit of weight from my shoulders, not only because I can spend more time focusing on my studies, but also because I now have the freedom to conduct more field work and create an even better final project which I hope will kick-start my career in academia. Funds like this one allow students with financial constraints to pursue their passions and demonstrate their full capabilities.
