Postgraduate virtual open evening

Explore your doctoral study opportunities at a postgraduate virtual event.

Tuesday 1 February 5–6.30pm.

Our postgraduate open evening offers information and advice for anyone interested in postgraduate taught (masters) or postgraduate research (PhD/doctoral) study.

If you're not sure whether taught or research is the best path for you, this is a great chance for you to explore your options by chatting to course leaders and Doctoral College staff.

The virtual open evening takes place on Tuesday 1 February 5–6.30pm. Join this event to:

  • Hear from senior university leaders in a welcome presentation.
  • Talk to our amazing students and Doctoral College staff about research programmes in subject Q+As text chats.
  • Hear some of our masters and PhD students tell their Brighton story and share their student experience in a live video student panel.
  • Get the latest information about student finance and funding, the application process, student support, careers, and more.
  • Take a virtual tour of our campuses and facilities.
  • View on-demand content about the university, accommodation, postgraduate finance and more.

This open evening will be taking place primarily through our partner, Unibuddy. You can join the event at any point and join in the conversations as much or as little as you like.

My PhD experience at the University of Brighton has been outstanding. The supervision has been consistent and incredibly supportive, and the additional research training and opportunities have greatly enhanced my learning experience.

Every doctoral student is supported by a dedicated, fully trained supervisory team, usually of two academics.

We offer workshops to support the professional and skills development of our doctoral students, including academic language training for students whose first language isn't English.

Progression support

From research plan to viva, our workshops and specialist staff guide students through the major milestones of their PhD.

Doctoral student community

Our vibrant research environment offers numerous opportunities for students to connect with their peers, such as online inductions, research seminars, reading groups, informal networking and support groups.

Conference funding

All (self-funded) doctoral researchers are eligible to apply for one grant per year to support conference attendance.

Research networks

Many of our students are aligned to our specialist research centres and groups both within and outside of their disciplinary school; all departments have strong connections to regional, national and international research networks.

Scholarships and discounts

  • A small number of international scholarships covering tuition fees are available.
  • A range of studentships are advertised across the year.

Flexible research study for everyone

Around one third of our doctoral researchers study part-time, with students from a wide range of backgrounds joining us in their 20s through to their 60s.
