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.

 International Business Management BSc(Hons)

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.

I am an international student, so it was important for me to study at a university that offered VISA sponsorship. Brighton was very quick to respond and my interview with the course lead was very reassuring.
