Masters student Daniel Khan from Bangladesh

"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.

"The teaching staff at the University of Brighton are supportive, approachable, and deeply committed. It has felt like home to me – one where I’ve been encouraged, supported, and challenged by a group of educators who care deeply about your growth as both a person and a researcher."

Daniel Khan, Humanities MRes (PGCert) student
