What type of course

International students apply to the university in the same way as UK students, but there are different application procedures for different types of courses.

Find your course

Undergraduate study

If you are applying for a full-time undergraduate degree course such as BA(Hons) or BSc(Hons) or an undergraduate integrated masters (MFA, MPharm or MEng), you can make your application through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), or by applying directly to us.

UCAS

UCAS is a centralised application service for all UK universities. In the course finder you will see that our undergraduate courses all include a UCAS code that you will need for your application. 

For more information see undergraduate study - how to apply.

Direct

In some circumstances you can apply direct to us using our online application system. Apply direct if:

  • you already know that you want to study at Brighton and do not intend to apply to other institutions.
  • you hold a foundation degree or HND and you are applying for a top-up degree.

Find out more about applying directly.

Postgraduate study

If you are applying for a full-time postgraduate course (ie. MA, MSc, MBA) you can complete the University of Brighton taught masters application form online.

For more information see postgraduate study - how to apply.

Research study

If you are applying for a full-time research programme (MPhil, PhD) you should first contact the Director of Postgraduate Studies for your chosen subject area.

You will need to submit a detailed outline of your research proposal so that the school can match your proposal with its research interests and determine whether it is able to supervise you.

You will then need to complete the University of Brighton research application form, by post or online.

For more information see Doctoral College - how to apply.

Degree preparation courses

If you want to study a pathway course at the University of Brighton International College, you can apply directly.

For more information visit the International College website. 

Please be aware that we may share application details of suitable students with the University of Brighton's International College.

English language programmes

For any English language courses, including English for Academic Study, the extended masters route or Summer Pre-sessional English you should apply to the Brighton Centre for Academic English Language Development.
