Home from home

If you're looking for a little taste of home when you're in Brighton, you can check out The WitchEZ photo cafe and restaurant for some authentic Polish cuisine and a fun atmosphere, for a light bite you should head to Rybka Polish fish and chips in The Lanes, and for some tasty Polish desserts you can jump on a quick train to London and check out Sowa restaurant.

There are also a number of societies you can get involved with where you can find like-minded people with similar interests which gives you the opportunity to be involved in society events to help you ease into student life and get familiar with the city. If you can't find a society that suits your interests then you can start your own society!

Our graduates

When I moved to the UK, I didn't know anybody, so I really had to put myself out there - go outside, meet new people and socialise. Living abroad really widened my horizons – I’ve met people not only from all over the UK but also the globe.
