Our connections

There are currently 7 students and 7 alumni of the university who are from Zimbabwe. Students from Zimbabwe 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. Become an independent thinker through collaboration with experienced Professors who share real world knowledge with students.
We offer pre-registration nursing and midwifery students the chance to experience nursing and midwifery in another country.
Our social work courses are approved currently by the General Social Care Council (GSCC), and the course is delivered in partnership with local agencies providing social work and caring services (Brighton & Hove City Council, East Sussex County Council, West Sussex County Council), with users of services and with carers.
