Our international community

We have staff and students from over 150 countries around the world, and you’ll be welcomed as a valued member of our talented and inclusive community, wherever you’re from.

EU students starting courses in the 2019–20 academic year

Fees

You will pay the same tuition fees as UK students for the duration of your course.

Funding

You will also be able to access the same financial support which is currently available to eligible EU students via student loans. This will remain the case for the duration of the course which you begin in 2019–20.

This includes loans covered by the undergraduate Student Support finance package, the Postgraduate Master’s Degree Loans and Postgraduate Doctoral Loan schemes.

Scholarships and bursaries

You can apply for the University of Brighton bursary and a range of scholarships if you are eligible.

Research Council PhD studentships

Research students will continue to be eligible for PhD studentships for postgraduate training support from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Research Councils.

Immigration

If you’re an EEA national or relevant family member of an EEA national, you should read our information on visa and immigration requirements in the light of the UK’s impending exit from the EU.

ERASMUS+

The UK’s future participation in the ERASMUS+ programme will depend on the terms of the exit deal. The UK government has yet to finalise negotiations.
