From the day you join our friendly and supportive international community we’ll help you reach your potential, build the skills and experience you need to succeed in your career and give you an unforgettable student experience.
The most appealing thing to me was the methodology. I learned the latest way to teach and I can adapt that in class in China. I learnt such a lot at here, and Brighton is such a fantastic city...

Brighton offers a university experience that goes way beyond the classroom. You’ll have the chance to follow your interests, make friends and build experience outside of your course through clubs and societies, field trips, volunteering and other activities.
Our aim is to make sure you’re career ready when you leave us. All of our courses offer work-related learning opportunities where you can gain professional experience and put theory into practice. You can also develop specialist skills using industry-standard equipment and get any career advice you need throughout your course.
Whether you already live in the UK or are moving here from your own country, you’ll soon make new friends and feel at home in our supportive international community. If you need information on practical issues such as visas or day-to-day living in the UK, our international support staff is always on hand to help.
For students who need additional academic, study skills and English language support before they start a degree course, the University of Brighton International College provides specialist university preparation courses.
We believe in offering financial support to high-achieving students or those who show exceptional promise. The university offers a range of different scholarships to eligible undergraduate and postgraduate international students, some worth up to £5,000.
Brighton is an exciting city, loved for being original, creative and forward thinking. You’ll find us at locations across Brighton and along the coast in Eastbourne and Hastings. Wherever you’re based you’ll enjoy a fantastic coastal location and be within easy reach of London.
