Brighton Pride 11
BRIGHTON Brighton is waiting to be explored, it stretches along 5.4 miles of picturesque pebble beach and lined with clubs, charming galleries, shops, volleyball and basketball courts. The city of Brighton & Hove is proud to be featured in Lonely Planet's list of 10 cities with brilliant beaches (alongside Cape Town, Rio and Sydney). Our Falmer, Grand Parade and Moulsecoomb campuses are based here.
Buses are plentiful in Brighton and will get you easily between university and town, and between campuses. They are named after notable people from the city – look out for Rudyard Kipling or Ben Sherman. Amongst the street art around Brighton, you can count the rock icons on the side of the Prince Albert – one of Brighton’s live music venues – and see a Banksy or two.
12
Every August, the city is inundated with mods on scooters, as the Brighton mod weekender recreates the style of Quadrophenia within its iconic setting. Along with the distinctive Regency architecture that lines the seafront, the extravagant Royal Pavilion is one of Brighton’s most famous landmarks. Commissioned by King George IV, its colourful history contributed to Brighton’s reputation as a seaside pleasure resort. Pavilion Gardens is a popular summer spot and in winter hosts a pop-up ice-rink. At Christmas, Brighton & Hove’s row of beach huts becomes an advent calendar, with a hut per day decorated and opened up by its owner for viewing. The Brighton Pride Community Parade, a high-energy mix of celebration and campaigning, is the UK’s biggest LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) event and wraps the city in rainbows every August.
Brighton’s mix of cultures, nationalities and religions means that you’ll be at home here no matter what country or background you’re from.
The annual Paddle Round the Pier festival is the ultimate expression of Brighton beach life, celebrating the best in water, street and urban sports.
Brighton Fashion Week is a rare chance to see some of the future stars of fashion away from London.
There are more than 400 independent shops, cafes and entertainment venues in Brighton’s North Laine area, as well as high street shopping at the 80-store Churchill Square shopping centre.
May is a great time of year to be in Brighton. The city buzzes as the Great Escape, a three-day, 300-band, new music showcase shifts into the Brighton Festival and Fringe, England’s biggest arts festival.

I chose to study in the UK largely because when I worked in China I met many British people, some of whom I had remained in contact with. My research found that the University of Brighton offered the best course for my needs and I do not regret this decision. Living in Eastbourne has been fun – it holds wonderful memories of the beautiful countryside and friendly people.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE My time at the University of Brighton has given me many new skills and qualities, including a broad insight into all aspects of environmental issues. This year, I had the opportunity to volunteer for an environmental organisation, where I applied my knowledge of soil contamination and environmental policy. The variety of different subjects that are offered within the course enabled me to develop new skills that I never imagined. Support from the staff and my personal tutor helped me make the right decisions about my choice of modules and my final dissertation. I have gained self confidence and made many new and good friends that I will keep for life, and I am now planning to continue studying towards my MSc degree at the University of Brighton.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
PhD student Alice Hagan conducted research to revolutionise liver cancer treatment. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, Alice’s method of treatment for liver tumours involved injecting microscopic beads into blood vessels feeding the tumour, blocking its source of nutrients and delivering sustained chemotherapy treatment to the tumour without affecting the rest of the liver tissue. When drugs are delivered this way, the amount of drug that reaches the rest of the body is greatly reduced, meaning fewer side effects for the patient.
Access to specialist equipment such as the inverted fluorescence microscope helps build practical skills.
We offer local and international fieldwork opportunities on our Ecology BSc(Hons) course.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU As an international student, you're guaranteed university accommodation in your first year – as long as you apply and firmly accept your offer by the accommodation deadline.

This database has details of landlords who have been vetted and registered by the accommodation service. • In the summer, we run a househunting service designed to help you find a home and housemates before you start university. Look out for more details on our website.
• We’re part of the Universities UK Student Accommodation Code. This ensures high standards in university accommodation.
Budgeting
HALLS OF RESIDENCE
How to apply to both halls and unihomes
Halls of residence are universitymanaged buildings where students live together. If you choose to live in halls you’ll have your own bedroom and share living spaces. We have halls of residence on several sites across Brighton and in Eastbourne. Prices and the type of provision vary across our locations.
Budgeting You may need to budget for travel, a TV licence and food as well as rent.
UNIHOMES
Unihomes are properties that the university lets to our students on behalf of private landlords. We ensure the standard of accommodation meets our requirements and you directly deal with us, whilst still having the freedom of living in a shared house or flat.
In Brighton, Unihome rents include electricity, water and gas.
After making us your firm choice, we'll email you an invitation to apply for halls of residence accommodation. Check our website to find out more about applying for accommodation, application deadlines and our allocation policy: www.brighton.ac.uk/living-here.
PRIVATE SECTOR RENTING
Many students choose this option; you'll have more freedom and independence and you can choose to be closer to the city. In Brighton, we work closely with landlords and letting agents to reserve flats and houses exclusively for our students.
Budgeting You’ll need to think about bills, contents insurance, travel, food and a TV licence as well as rent.
96
When to look It’s advisable to look for private rented accommodation during the summer before you start your course. If this is not possible, you may be able to book onto Orientation which takes place the week before the start of term, so that you can use this as a base for your search. If you would like to live in private rented accommodation you’ll need a UKbased guarantor, or be able to pay 3–12 month's rent in advance. For more information contact the accommodation service.
House-hunting groups and events In the summer, we run a house-hunting service designed to help you find a home and housemates before you start university. Look out for more details on our website. You'll be invited to join our Facebook house-hunting groups so you can meet other students who are looking to share and ask our accommodation team any questions that you might have.
HOMESTAY
Homestay gives you the extra security of living with a family, couple or single person endorsed by the university. Homestay is popular with international students and ideal for short stays of a few weeks or longer. Homestay is only available to students in the Brighton area. Rooms can be provided on a self-catered or catered basis, where you can have your meals cooked for you. We also have shared rooms if you know another student you would like to share with.
Budgeting Depending on whether you choose the catered or self-catered option, you may need to budget for food and travel as well as rent.
How to apply If you are interested in Homestay, once you have accepted your place on a course, let the accommodation team know by email or phone, and they will send you an application form.

Estimated costs I decided that I would like to rent in the city centre while I did my degree. I contacted the accommodation team for some advice and got some good tips for renting as a student. The bus route to Falmer is great, so I’ve always found it easy getting to and from lectures, and as my course has placements I wanted to make sure I could get around easily. Renting as a student can seem daunting, but there’s loads of help on hand from the university and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Olly Hunt-Blow, Nursing (Adult) BSc(Hons)

Some students are also asked to take part in an interview. We consider all applications very carefully including personal statements, references and work experience, as well as exam results and predicted grades.

What if I don’t meet the entry requirements for my course?

This evidence is required before we can issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number. SELT results are only valid for two years from the time the test is taken. You can’t apply for a Tier 4 visa using test results older than two years.
If you have a different English language qualification contact us to find out if you’re eligible for one of our courses. For a list of UK Home Office SELTs visit www.gov.uk/government/publications/ guidance-on-applying-for-uk-visaapproved-english-language-tests. Please refer to the UK Home Office website for further details about their requirements. www.gov.uk/visas-immigration

My name is Angeline and I work in the International Office. I’m based here in Brighton so I am your main contact point if you are living in the UK or just here for a visit. I attend education exhibitions and visit schools, colleges and agent offices for international students in the UK so look out for my visits on our website or ask one of the student advisors at your institution.
Alumni We can put you in touch with a graduate from your country. If you’d like to hear first hand what it’s like to study at the University of Brighton, from someone from your own country who has experienced moving to the UK to study, we can help. Visit www. brighton.ac.uk/internationalaskalumni.
As well as information about courses, scholarships and application procedures I can let you know about our open days or arrange tours of our campuses. I also work with the University of Brighton International College, which offers academic preparation for university entry. In order to make your progression as easy as possible I arrange dedicated open days, meetings with academic staff and pre-progression briefings. I look forward to hearing from you.
