A UK university education at Brighton can prepare you for a successful career anywhere in the world.
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.
I lost my left arm whilst studying for my A-levels and was worried about how I would attend practical aspects of my course. The disability team helped me contact my course leader to discuss alterations to practical sessions and assessments.

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.
If you need to improve your subject knowledge, academic and English language skills before you start your degree, you can take a pathway course at the University of Brighton International College.
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 £2,500.
Brighton’s 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. Wherever you’re based you’ll enjoy a fantastic coastal location and be within easy reach of London.
