Orientation

Each year we welcome new international students to the University of Brighton during our orientation programme. We have always been passionate about providing the best possible welcome to the UK, and this year will be no different.

Orientation takes place in September if you are starting your studies in the autumn or in January if you are starting your studies in the new year.

Key facts

  • Designed to help you settle into life in a new country.

  • An online and in-person programme of events.

Got a question?

We're here to help:

  • email orientation@brighton.ac.uk about the orientation programme or quarantine requirements.

Orientation programme

Our orientation programme typically includes campus tours, city tours, social events, sessions about working in the UK, and the healthcare system.

At the University of Brighton, our orientation support lasts as long as you need it. We run ongoing information sessions, wellbeing activities, and cultural and social events throughout the academic year.

It was a really great experience with easy access to get to know people in a short amount of time. I would suggest it to every other international student because it helps you especially with the beginning of everything.

How much does orientation cost and how to book

Orientation is free and we will send you information by email when your place is confirmed and orientation is open for booking.

Orientation has a perfect balance between social activities and informative talks, and it quickly makes you feel that you will be able to solve potential issues and more than that – you are not in this situation alone. Our group leaders were friendly and supportive while taking care of us and giving their insight on the university life. Sadly, it has come to an end, but the friendships made there still last. Thank you for giving me so many fantastic memories, way before the actual start of university.
