Why Study In Brighton?

Brighton’s colorful character, history, architecture, and cosmopolitan culture all combine to make it an exciting and vibrant place to live and study. The Brighton program allows you to enroll in a range of University of Brighton courses in a variety of disciplines for one semester or a full year. All semester and yearlong students will take a required British History and Culture course, which provides excellent opportunities to learn about contemporary approaches to the study of British Culture, while drawing on social, political, literary, and media analysis and offering hands-on experiential learning experiences.

Despite being small enough for you to bump into friends in the city center, Brighton is lively and sophisticated, often dubbed “London-by-the-Sea.” With the sea on one side and the South Downs on the other, the city has an open-air feel.

There are several excellent reasons for deciding to study in the United Kingdom. Courses at British universities are taught by professors who do almost all the teaching and tutorial work with undergraduates while maintaining a high level of research activity. Although the U.K. shares a common language with the U.S., it remains a foreign country, with diverse traditions, values, and views of the world. Time in the United Kingdom will challenge you personally, open your eyes to different ways of looking at the current problems of the world and enable you to directly experience the wonderful culture and history of the European continent.
