Our fee for the professional placement year is £1,410 for UK students and £2,180 for international students. This fee may be subject to small increases, in line with inflation.

What's included

You may have to pay additional costs during your studies. The cost of optional activities is not included in your tuition fee and you will need to meet this cost in addition to your fees. A summary of the costs that you may be expected to pay, and what is included, while studying a course in the School of Business and Law in the 2022–23 academic year are listed here.

  • Students who choose to take an optional placement will have travel and living expenses. The cost of this depends on where and how long your placement is.

  • For the International Tourism Management BSc, International Tourism Management with Marketing BSc, International Event Management BSc, and International Event Management with Marketing BSc, field trips are an optional activity, but we do strongly advise participation as they contribute to the overall experience of studying this degree. The cost for field trips is not included in the tuition fee and must be paid for by students, however please be assured we do try to keep field trip costs to a minimum and don't anticipate the total cost of a few field trips each year to exceed £30. If you would struggle to meet this cost, there is a hardship fund that you may be able to access.

You can chat with our enquiries team if you have a question or need more information. Or check our finance pages for advice about funding and scholarships as well as more information about fees and advice on international and island fee-paying status.

Info

The fees listed here are for full-time courses beginning in the academic year 2023–24.

Further tuition fees are payable for each subsequent year of study and are subject to an annual increase of no more than 5% or RPI (whichever is the greater). The annual increase for UK students, who are subject to regulated fees, will increase no more than the statutory maximum fee.

You can find out more about our fees in the university's student contract and tuition fee policy (pdf).

The tuition fee you have to pay depends on a number of factors including the kind of course you take, and whether you study full-time or part-time. If you are studying part-time you will normally be charged on a pro rata basis depending on the number of modules you take.

Yousra Ennassih Hassani

"International Business is an excellent course, not only because of the valuable business insight it offers, both national and international, but because of the awareness it develops. It has definitely improved my cross-cultural understanding. I really love the way the course is taught - with both group assignments and individual assessments. It teaches you general knowledge that you will use if you decide to continue on in the field, or if you switch into another profession. What you learn will always be useful.

"Studying international business management has not only equipped me with skills from the start, but it has also made me see that there are loads of opportunities to improve our world’s economy. I really think that business is an essential skill to have no matter the career you are in. From biomedical science to IT - business is used everywhere all of the time.

"Having such a variety of optional modules available gives students a valuable chance to explore their unique interests. My favourite module, Personal Finance, was in fact an optional choice. I can’t stress enough how interesting and life changing this module is. It has given me personal finance knowledge that a great part of the population don’t know about. 

"We did a really interesting group project in one of my core modules called International Business Analysis. We learnt the exact steps investors take when considering a country and industry to go ahead and invest in. This entailed getting the right data and conducting loads of precise research. Personally, it was eye-opening. This is another thing I liked about my course; it provided real-world case studies which allow students to get a deep insight on how international businesses works in the modern world. 

"I realised that Brighton was the perfect university for me was when I saw the way they treated their community. Everyone has the same chances and support to succeed at whatever they set their mind to, and the university encourages cultural diversity alongside an extensive eagerness to providing support all of the time."

The best part of the course was probably the placement year. It's a great way to get out of the classroom and put what you've learned into practice.

Akin Karabacak

"Given that we live in a globalised society, learning how business functions from an international perspective is extremely important for tackling the challenges posed by modern society. I believe it gives you an advantage over students who only study business in a national context.

"The standard of teaching at Brighton was genuinely very high. Many teachers had worked for large and reputable companies, so you really do learn from industry professionals. This is something you’re unlikely to find at many other universities.

"The best aspect of the course is the vast number of modules available in the final year. Having the option of tailoring your degree to a specific topic area and creating yourself a unique selling point is very useful in a saturated job market."

Ville Heimgartner

"Interacting with highly driven students was one of the best aspects of the course. Each seminar was a new experience, since everyone had different backgrounds and opinions on how matters are handled in their respective home countries.

"The degree brought together all the themes of a global business world and allowed me to do four placements in different industries, from consultancies to NGOs.

"If you're interested in working in a global industry and don’t want to be limited to just one part of the business transaction, then the International Business BSc is the right way to go."

Matt Boucher 

“I am proud to be a School of Business and Law graduate because not only has the university given me the perfect preparation to work in my desired industry of creative marketing/social media, but also given me the confidence to move abroad to a new city.

“Within months of graduating I started working at a marketing agency in London, being part of a team who promoted the latest James Bond, Star Wars and Marvel films, which was the experience of a lifetime! I have subsequently moved to Berlin, a move which has been made very easy thanks to my Erasmus study period at uni, to work in one of the fastest growing European travel communities, HolidayPirates.com.

“I will always cherish the memories I have from studying at Brighton, and I am always thankful for the experience and knowledge I have gained from studying there."
