Syria

Introduction

If you are from Syria and thinking about studying at Brighton you can find information to help you decide, and make your application on this page.

Our connections

Students from Syria choose the University of Brighton because of our strong standing in key subject areas of interest.

  • Our degree and masters courses in business, management and economics benefit from the internationally recognised research at our Centre for Research in Innovation Management (CENTRIM). The latest Research Assessment Exercise determined that 70 per cent of our research in business management is of international standing.
  • Business studies students benefit from the training and consultancy work of professors. Students gain practical and leadership skills in a research active community.
  • Management studies courses provide entrepreneurial skills training and connection with a network of industry partners. You can become an independent thinker through collaboration with experienced Professors who share real world knowledge with students.
