What our students say

It’s my first year participating in international competitions after graduating, and I’m so grateful for all the support from Brighton. Without a doubt, the university has been the starting point of my creative career.

For me, if I would recommend something about the University of Brighton, it would be the city itself. The people around here are just so nice. That's why I came for my first year, and that's why I came back for my MA.

Often human beings fear stepping beyond their sub-cultures or comfort zones – but when the culture around you is welcoming and doesn’t make you feel 'othered', it becomes a space where you can truly grow.

Studying at the University of Brighton is not just about lectures and assignments; it’s about building a new life in a creative, diverse and inspiring city. Before you know it, Brighton will feel like a second home, and the experience will shape you in ways you can’t imagine!

My time as an international student at the University of Brighton fundamentally impacted where I am today. My university days in Brighton gave me the opportunity to build my confidence.

Since arriving in Brighton, I’ve felt empowered not just as a student, but as a solution builder. The support and environment here have helped me turn an idea into a global solution.

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. 

I think as an international student having UK work experience is paramount. I've learned far more than I could've imagined [on my placement year]. I’ve actually just signed an offer letter for full time permanent employment with them, which is very exciting!

At Brighton, there are so many opportunities to build strong relationships with people from different backgrounds. As a student coming to Brighton from another country, I also learned to be independent and adapt to new and challenging environments, which has been definitely useful in my next steps after graduating. 

The University of Brighton is an outstanding option to achieve academic goals and career growth opportunities. They provide the excellence of teaching required for your career goal. 

The vibrant atmosphere and diverse community at the University of Brighton made it the perfect place for me to grow. Engaging with fellow students from various backgrounds has enriched my experience and helped me develop a broader perspective, both personally and academically.

Brighton has a large international community that diversifies the experience of living and working there. I found it amazing to connect with people from different parts of the world, different walks of life and hearing their stories.
