Freedom to explore

All our degrees give you the flexibility to tailor your learning to your interests. You can choose the option modules, placement and volunteering opportunities that inspire you. And you can discover the topics that intrigue and excite you the most, then explore them in depth. This allows you to focus on what you love, and to create a course that’s as individual as you are.

Inclusive learning

Our students have diverse talents and strengths and our courses have been designed with that in mind. Your course will be made up of modules that allow for in-depth study, as well as opportunities for project work, collaboration and active participation in research – all with a consistent level of assessment throughout. Modules are reviewed regularly to make sure that all parts of your course are consistent, accessible and inclusive, and that you’re able to influence how you learn and how you’re assessed.

How we teach

Our TEF silver award acknowledges our recognition of and reward for excellent teaching, and especially our commitment to: • supporting the transition from school to university • personalised learning and support • close working relationships with professional bodies and employers • problem-based learning – which develops the skills employers value.

Learning should feel like a collaborative process – something you’re actively part of, not something that just happens to you. It’s my job to work with my colleagues to make sure that your university is a supportive place where you have space to explore and practice what you learn, becoming skilled and confident so that you can fulfill your potential and ambitions.

Professor Debra Humphris, your Vice-Chancellor

I have a range of different practices within my course: written work, editing and a lot of hands-on practical work – it suits me as I learn better from doing than just hearing what it’s all about. I came from doing a BTEC which was hands-on and practical too, but here it’s different. There’s a more independent approach to learning, but there’s a lot of help available.

Georgia Mutegevu, media production student

CHAT TO OUR STUDENTS www.brighton.ac.uk/chat 03

We have modules where we work with live clients and small businesses and put what we’ve learned, the basic theories, into practice and see how they work in a business – and what doesn’t work. Having that trial and error, the ability to try things with a safety net, is one of the best aspects of my degree. It’s not just reading from a book, it’s all real-world stuff, looking to the future.

Douglas McFadyean, marketing student I was initially quite nervous about getting to grips with the more technical aspects of psychological research, whether using the lab equipment or analysing data, but I needn’t have worried. The lab technicians are really approachable and always on hand to help, breaking things down in an understandable and reassuring way.

Jenny Terry, psychology graduate (2018) with psychology technician Martina Sladekova using eye-tracking glasses CHAT TO OUR STUDENTS www.brighton.ac.uk/chat 04

Where you’ll learn

As well as tutorials and lectures, your learning will happen in realistic simulated environments, where our equipment and facilities replicate those in industry and professional workplaces. Whether you’re working in a lab, a studio or a simulation suite, you’ll have support from technicians who’ll help you to develop new skills. There are libraries at all of our campuses, with extended opening hours into the evening and weekends. Our team of information professionals are on hand to help you find the specialist resources you need. You’ll also use the online library, with thousands of ebooks, databases and full-text journals.

We’re continually improving our buildings, creating new spaces to socialise and learn, with a focus on sustainability.

Be inspired

You’ll be part of an academic community with connections to industry and professions. You’ll get to know, and learn with, lecturers, technicians and visiting experts who love their subject, and who combine their teaching with professional practice and research.

01. The sustainable design of the atrium at the Checkland building at Falmer campus was developed based on our students’ insights, creating new spaces to relax, study and socialise outside of lectures. 02. Education and teaching students have access to around 30,000 resources at the Curriculum Centre at Falmer campus. 03. Huxley building on the Moulsecoomb campus is home to some of the most modern facilities for professional pharmacy teaching in the UK. The clinical skills laboratory helps students experience the clinical environment in which practising pharmacists work.

As an architecture student, I think the school provides a very wellequipped workshop for students. In there, we can use different materials to build test models in 1-to-1 scale, a 3D printer to test geometry on a smaller scale and use the broad knowledge of the technicians, who are always there assisting us to realise our design, idea or concept. I feel the workshops are where the magic happens.

Davis Mak, Architecture MArch student

06 04 04. Sport and exercise science students benefit from our accredited laboratories including motion analysis equipment and an altitude chamber. You might see Olympic and Paralympic athletes preparing for their next competition.

It’s great to have staff who are really personable, that you can go to speak to as friends and relate to personally saying, ‘this is a project I’ve got and I’m not sure how to tackle this’. And they are always more than happy to spend time just talking and weighing up the options to help you get the best out of your project.

05. The Edward Street building at City campus houses specialist facilities for film and photography. 06. Specialist facilities in the Cockcroft engineering block at Moulsecoomb campus include a hydraulics flume, used for open channel flow experiments. 07. Our architectural technology students learn how to take architectural design projects from conception to completion.

I did a lot of work-related learning during my course, from volunteering to paid placements. The university is so involved in the city, there were so many opportunities and it was really easy to take them. Our lecturers would talk to us about opportunities, and sometimes we could get involved with things they were doing. They also got to know what you liked on a one-to-one, personal basis – by second year they would tailor what they’d tell you about, and you’d hear about opportunities that might otherwise have got lost. We also did workshops on employability as part of our course, learning how to build our CV, do presentations, and developing other transferable skills, so we could say: I’ve got a degree but I’ve also done x, y and z. Lots of opportunities went hand in hand with what we were learning, so you’d learn the theory, develop the skills, and then have the chance to practice for real and work out what you were passionate about and wanted to pursue.

Personal skills development

Work-related experience

We put a strong emphasis on helping you develop transferable skills and adaptable experience. We talked to 500 employers to understand what they’re looking for and have built opportunities to develop those skills into our courses. This means that all of our courses give you flexibility to work in a number of areas and give you more freedom when you make decisions about your career in the future.

Our courses are shaped by the needs of today’s workplaces and are often developed in partnership with employers and the professions. Most of our courses offer opportunities to apply your learning to real-life situations, meet potential employers or get real work experience.

Skills include: • self management including career planning, personal development and wellbeing • communications which includes team working, networking and emotional intelligence • enterprise, innovation and entrepreneurship, focusing on creative thinking, understanding and analysing opportunities, and making things happen • research which takes into account project management, problem-solving and organisational skills.

Work-related learning varies by course and level, but might mean: • a year-long paid placement, usually taken after the second year • regular placements and work-related learning completed throughout your course to achieve a required number of clinical or practice hours • a four-to-six-week placement that is a credit-bearing module • live project briefs, often informed by employers’ real requirements.

Professional accreditation

More than 50 professional organisations recognise and accredit our courses. If your course has a professional accreditation, it could give you an extra qualification in addition to your degree, a licence to practise or exemption from professional examinations. Some courses also include membership of a relevant professional body while you are a student here.

I have been in Brighton and on the course since September 2015, and I can very happily say that it has been one of my best experiences with education so far! My course mates and tutors are always super supportive and and always encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone to achieve the end outcomes I am looking for.

Professional advice and support Alongside your course team, our professional careers advisers can help you to see how your studies and your activities translate into transferable employability skills. They can help you to identify and work on gaps in your skills and knowledge, and they can help you present your experience and knowledge to employers.

Support after graduation

Our support continues after you’ve left university. Graduates can access careers information, advice and guidance, be part of the alumni network, and receive regular invitations to professional networking events.

Added experiences We can also help you to get involved in other activities designed to develop your employability.

Volunteer

Employers can be particularly impressed by students who do volunteering work because they are developing new skills as well as showing commitment and motivation. We’ve won a national award for our community engagement work and are proud of our strong links with local communities. These links enable us to offer you volunteering opportunities with local community and voluntary partner organisations. www.brighton.ac.uk/volunteering

Share your skills

Our peer-assisted study sessions (PASS) scheme provides a network of trained student mentors who help other students to thrive as members of our learning community. You can train as a mentor too. Students who participate in PASS are more likely to successfully complete modules, while students acting as PASS leaders are more likely to achieve a high-class degree.

Be enterprising

Graduates and students who can prove their resourcefulness, innovative thinking and leadership skills are more likely to stand out from the crowd. Our entrepreneurship programme, Beepurple, runs skills development workshops, training courses and offers one-to-one support for students and graduates who want to do just that and turn their ideas into reality. www.beepurple.co.uk

Be mentored

Students can apply for a place on our award-winning mentoring programme where professionals will share their experiences and mentor you in regular meetings. It’s a great confidence boost and can really help with employability.

I am currently working part-time with MaxMara, an Italian luxury brand in London, as a wholesale operations business analyst and after my term at university ends, I will switch to a full-time role. This is an area I have become interested in through my placement year and I’m very pleased to have an opportunity to work in logistics and operations straight out of university.

THIS IS BRIGHTON

Brighton is a place that looks at the world differently. Independent and inclusive, the mix of cultures, nationalities and religions means that you’ll be at home here no matter what country or background you are from. It’s also a true student city – around 14% of people living here are students. Its reputation for fun goes without saying, but it’s also known for being forward-thinking – it leads the way in arts, creative technology and the environment, and there are amazing opportunities to build on your studies by getting involved in city life.

Live and learn We sponsor festivals and events in the city throughout the year. The Brighton Festival is the largest annual arts and culture festival in England. It takes place in venues across Brighton throughout May and, along with the Brighton Fringe Festival, is known for being ambitious, daring and original, just like the city. Brighton Digital Festival welcomes around 47,000 visitors to over 150 events. It’s a celebration that unites the arts and digital communities of a city that is on the cutting edge of digital culture. CINECITY Brighton Film Festival showcases the very best in cinema, with premieres, previews and special events. And, as one of the festival’s hosting partners, the university gives students the opportunity to participate with film screenings, installations and performances.

Brighton and Eastbourne are a lot of fun.

SEPTEMBER

We work closely with Brighton and Hove Albion and our students get the chance to take part in student projects, placements and joint work on community programmes.

Here’s a snapshot of our calendar. From major music events and tourist attractions, to small independent venues and original, festivals – it’s all here.

FRESHTIVAL

This is where your university story starts. From course induction events to festival-style parties, Freshers’ Fortnight is a great way to meet loads of new people and settle into your new home.

This free contemporary arts and crafts fair takes place in the Brighton Corn Exchange. Originally built as the riding school for the Prince Regent, its innovative Regency design is now being restored.

Explore digital technology and culture by seeing some of the diverse 150+ events that make up this annual month-long programme.

STEAMPUNK FESTIVAL EASTBOURNE

Experience the wild, wonderful and bizarre retrofuturistic world of steampunk on the seafront in Eastbourne. Expect incredible costumes.

Brighton has a very positive energy – there’s always something going on. It’s a city where you can come thinking one thing and leave thinking another, whether you are here for years or for a day. Everyone knows what Brighton can offer students in terms of the social aspect – I think every student here has fun – but it’s such an accepting city, accepting of everyone, and that’s a really good atmosphere to study in as well.

Our students often work at the tournament. There’s plenty of arts and culture with the renowned contemporary Towner Art Gallery, four theatres and a brand new eight-screen cinema. The Sunday Times described Eastbourne’s Little Chelsea as ‘the next wave of coastal cool…packed with independent boutiques, craft shops and eateries’. And it’s brilliantly accessible, with the beach, the town centre and the beautiful hills of the South Downs all within a 15-minute walk of our campus.

In Eastbourne you get a great community feel from being in a smaller group. You get to know everyone and it’s easy to make friends. I’m quite far from home but I’ve settled in really well. It’s inclusive and everything is close together. It has its own buzz and has good social life and nightlife. And Brighton is just down the road so we get the best of both worlds. I’m doing a yearlong salaried placement in Brighton, but I’ve chosen to stay living in Eastbourne. It’s cheaper than Brighton, travelling between is quick and affordable – and I love my life in Eastbourne.

I first got involved with setting up the Southeast Asian Society (SEASOC) when my friends and I were joking about how nice it would be if we were to create a society to meet more people of Asian background; we saw lots of us around the university but could never find the right opportunity to open up a conversation.

BRIGHTON STUDENTS’ UNION Here to make your life better

We are here to make sure your experience at University of Brighton is the best it can be. As soon as you become a student at Brighton, you are part of our community!

We’re not just about the nightlife, we’re so much more. We make sure that your voice is being heard, and provide services, activities and opportunities to get involved, as well as advice, support and a whole lot of fun along the way.

Societies

We have all sorts of societies at Brighton SU. All are student-led and cover a range of interests, from academic and cultural to leisure and faith. Societies are a great way to find a group of friends that share common interests with you and can become your community. From ArabSoc to Vegan Society – whatever your interests, there are over 100 societies to choose from.

The Students’ Union guided us through every step, and we were able to complete all the requirements and get the society ratified. Thanks to the society I have gained valuable interpersonal skills. It’s allowed me to come out of my shell and socialise, not just with the members of the society but also with people we’ve collaborated with. I’ve gained experience which I’ve been able to apply in my day-to-day life, such as how to manage my time effectively, splitting society time and coursework, while still allowing myself to have my own leisure time. I’ve also made new friends, some I could honestly say I would have never met, and they’ve helped shape me to who I am now.

Events, cafes and shops

We host events for students across all campuses. From big events like our annual Halloween Pier Party and weekly club nights, to smaller student-led events in our cafe-bars – like live music or pub quizzes – there’s something for everyone to get involved with and enjoy. There are cafes and shops across our campuses which provide you with student-friendly refreshments, meals and the everyday essentials.

Every year students are elected by other students to represent our university community.

Employability opportunities

We employ more than 100 students in our Brighton SU cafes, shops, and activities and services teams. As well as volunteering, there are plenty of ways to get involved and boost your experience for your CV, helping you to stand out.

Support and advice

Hopefully you won’t need our education support, but if you do, we provide independent and impartial advice on the issues that you may experience during your university journey. brightonsu.com @subrighton @SUBrighton brightonstudentsunion

In good company We’re proud of all of our graduates, their creativity, wisdom and drive. Here are seven of our former students on how Brighton shaped them.

As soon as I arrived in Brighton, I fell in love with the place. It was incredibly diverse, multicultural, bizarre and a little bit mad in a good way. If you come to Brighton, you’re already a certain kind of person because the city attracts such open and diverse people. Adam Pearson Actor, campaigner and presenter on Channel 4’s Beauty & the Beast: The Ugly Face of Prejudice Business Management BA(Hons) 2007

Life’s too short not to do something you really love. Originally I was reading physics at Oxford but it didn’t make me happy. I missed creativity, so instead, I studied Product Design at Brighton. Probably the best decision I ever made. Emily Brooke MBE Inventor and entrepreneur, Product Design BSc(Hons) 2011

I absolutely know I wouldn’t be where I am now were it not for my time at Brighton — it creates interesting and highly versatile characters adept at working and enjoying the real world. I’m deeply proud to have gone there. Cameron Leslie Director, Fabric Nightclub International Hospitality Management BA(Hons), 1995

Sport and fitness Whether you want to compete, keep fit or just have fun, there are lots of ways to enjoy sport at Brighton. You can use our sport and fitness facilities at any campus, wherever you study or live. There are more than 50 sports clubs and societies in all kinds of activities, and our teams compete against other universities in the British Universities and Colleges Sport league. Sport can play a key role in developing employability and, through our Parklife volunteering programme, you could build skills such as coaching, leadership, event organisation, administration, media and communications. We also support elite and elite disabled student athletes at national and Olympic level through sports scholarships, the sports science consultancy and our status as a satellite centre for the English Institute of Sport. www.brighton.ac.uk/sportbrighton @sportbrighton @SportBrighton SportBrighton

Brighton really broadened my perspective on the range of options and opportunities that were available to me. The path I took after university was undoubtedly shaped by my time there. I feel so fortunate to have been supported in my early days by a team who really wanted me to be the best I could be. Sonia Cargan Chief Diversity Officer, American Express Social Administration BA(Hons) 1991

Evie Foster, physical education student, and rugby player

CHAT TO OUR STUDENTS www.brighton.ac.uk/chat

I’m amazed by how much my horizons have been expanded at Brighton. Becoming president of Brighton Students’ Union has helped transform my communication skills. Speaking to thousands of students has opened my eyes to ensuring everyone is treated fairly and with respect.

The chances of succeeding in the music industry were very slim, so my degree gave me the confidence to pursue my dream with wild abandon. Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim Musician and DJ British Studies BA(Hons) 1985

Playing rugby at Brighton has increased my confidence, providing me with so many new opportunities both within and outside of the university. Having never played rugby before joining Brighton, to becoming the president of the club, I feel a sense of pride to be part of something where all the girls feel like my family.

University life really prepared me for the work I do, on so many different levels… it taught me to be creative, to question, to explore facets of life I’d never come into contact with before.

Accommodation guaranteed We guarantee every eligible first-year student an offer of university accommodation.

University accommodation

Our accommodation includes halls of residence and shared houses. We have halls and houses across Brighton and Eastbourne, with a variety of prices, catering options and types of room available. For more details see pages 32–33. We guarantee you university accommodation in your first year, as long as you you: • make us your firm choice • are in your first year of full-time study • meet the deadlines we tell you about.

Homestay

With Homestay you rent a room in the home of a family, couple or single person who has registered with the university. Homestay can be catered or self-catered, and provides a supportive home environment as you settle into university life.

Finding your own home

Opting to look for your own privately rented home gives you maximum independence, as you can choose your location, type of housing and your housemates. We can help you to find a private rental, and to find other Brighton students to live with. We manage our own database of properties which meet our standards from landlords who have registered with us. You’ll find all types of accommodation on offer from rooms to rent to whole houses. We also manage a house-hunting group on Facebook where you can meet students looking for and offering rooms in rented houses and ask the accommodation team any questions you have. You can get advice from the team about renting all year round.

01. Our lovely accommodation team has years of experience and excellent local knowledge.

Living in a shared house in first year was so much better and easier than I thought it would be. It was great knowing that, because the house was managed by the university, if something went wrong then we could rely on the university to sort it out. The house was fantastic – it had a really nice front and back garden, as well as a large communal space where we played games and watched films together. It also had a separate bathroom and toilet which meant we could all get on with our morning routine without treading on someone else’s toes! It was in a really great area; the neighbours were really friendly and there was a local corner shop and bus stops nearby. Living in a house in my first year meant that house hunting in second, and now third year, has been even easier. Now I know what to look for, and knowing I’ve got the support of the university, should I need it, makes the whole thing a lot less traumatic!

02. Our blue bus is a free service linking our Brighton campuses and Varley Park.

ARTS, FASHION AND VISUAL COMMUNICATION The University of Brighton is internationally renowned for its teaching, practice and research in the arts. We are central to the city of Brighton’s reputation as a creative, forward-thinking place to live, work and study. Studying at Brighton has provided the catalyst for a wealth of successful creative careers and business starts-ups. Develop your vision and style Students are encouraged to explore their chosen field and develop their own creative vision and personal style. Our courses provide a comprehensive creative education: in every year you’ll combine cultural and critical studies with your studio and professional practice. Placements and work experience Client-based opportunities and competitions enable you to develop the skills required to create and pursue freelance opportunities and to thrive in the job market with energy and confidence. Bring your studies to life by working on live briefs, undertaking a placement or volunteering, and attending guest lectures by industry experts who visit to share their knowledge and experiences. Publicise your work Exhibit your work throughout your course exploring the practical aspects of organising and installing an event, culminating in your final year at the University of Brighton Graduate Show.

Visitors and field trips Our programme of talks from visiting industry experts and practitioners gives you a fresh perspective on your own work. Field trips and site visits inspire, motivate and bring the subjects to life. Local and international links We have strong links with local arts communities and organisations. In recent years students have benefited from opportunities such as exhibiting at venues in the city, including Hove Museum, and most courses offer opportunities for international visits or student exchanges. Centre for Contemporary Arts Our new Centre for Contemporary Arts (Brighton CCA) opens in October 2019 with a programme of world-class exhibitions, projects and commissions from emerging and established international artists.

Painting graduate Felicity Meacham was runner up in the Graduate Art Prize 2018 for her piece I’m Alright, Hiding Tonight

I absolutely adored my time at Brighton. After applying for general fine art courses and not feeling it was right for me, I had found Brighton’s specialist painting course. I remember thinking on my first day, ‘Finally I have found my people’. For three lovely years, Monday to Saturday, I would be painting beside the best of friends, talking about painting all day long. What more could you want?

01. Final year student Lucia Vinti was commissioned to illustrate the families guide for the 2019 Van Gogh and Britain exhibition at Tate Britain. The guide is the second Tate project to feature Lucia’s work – she also created downloadable phone wallpapers for Tate Collective’s 2018 Instagram advent giveaway. 02. Fine Art Sculpture graduate, Jesse Mills-McGowan, with his final piece at our Graduate Show in 2019. 03. Felicity Meacham’s prize-winning work, I’m Alright, Hiding Tonight. 04. Textiles graduate Freya Richmond was the only UK designer from the UK among the three winners of the Printeriors 2018 design competition.

05. Printmaking students have access to a range of equipment including for intaglio, relief, lithography and screenprinting. 06. Fine Art Critical Practice students on a camping trip at Firle Estate, as part of their post-studio practice experience. Fine art students expand their learning outside of the studio, depending on their course, on placements, field trips, and museum and art gallery visits. 07. Our on-site galleries and theatre are key venues for arts events, including the Brighton Festival, CINECITY and the Brighton Photo Biennial. Public lectures, events and exhibitions featuring international artists and current students take place year-round.

ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

Our architecture, interiors and product design courses are design-led, hands-on and collaborative. Students develop their own voice and the skills needed to take their ideas to completion through working together on live briefs and projects with communities in the local area and further afield. Studio working Design studios mirror industry practice, where you’ll work together with students from all years of your course, sharing experiences and exploring ideas.

Product design students work together in a professional design studio with specialist facilities, 3D print workspaces, wood, metal and welding workshops, finish room and prototyping laboratories.

Themed, vertical studios encourage enquiry and collaboration for architecture and interior architecture students. Themes range from model making to memory and meaningful architecture, and you’ll choose the subject that interests you most or matches your career aspirations in years 2 and 3.

New modelling and construction workshops are integrated into design studios, along with IT facilities and specialist software help architecture and interior architecture students to build the skills and experience required in practice. You’ll also have access to specialist equipment, a repro room and a dark room.

My time at Brighton has been engaging, exciting and challenging. The bond created between friends, tutors and staff has been a special experience. Brighton is a diverse place where something is always happening – it’s a brilliant city to be a student.

Skilled technicians are a vital part of the studio community, on hand to support your making and ideas. They are practicing artists, designers and PhD students so they know exactly where you are coming from. Field trips and talks Our students benefit from an array of expert perspectives, thanks to our programme of talks from visiting architects, designers and researchers, who share their experiences and enthusiasm. Field trips and site visits inspire, motivate and bring the subjects to life. Mock RIBA interviews prepare architecture students for professional life.

Placements Product design students can undertake a placement year. Experience gained on placement is invaluable in helping you become a professional designer, and many students find that the work informs their final year project and can lead to permanent employment on completion of their degree. Inspiring staff Internationally respected architect Professor Robert Mull heads up the School of Architecture and Design, where teaching staff include: Professor Andre Viljoen, one of four urban agriculture experts conducting field work in preparation for the 2019 Tokyo World Urban Agriculture Summit; Dr Catalina Mejía Moreno, whose collaborative work, To Manifest, an intersectional feminist approach to the way we teach, live and work, has been published in Harvard Design Magazine; Cathy Grundy who leads Brighton Product Lab, where projects for product design students include an interactive whale sculpture to educate children about single use plastic; and Katy Beinart, creator of Saltways, a public art commission for the Canal and River Trust tracing the heritage of Droitwich and its waterways.

The course encourages experimentation and it helped me find a way to use my skills in graphic design, illustration and film simultaneously. If I hadn’t been allowed to experiment in this way, I would never have known what I wanted to do in the future which is making films and creating a successful cartoon that is authentically representative of black characters.

HUMANITIES HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY, CULTURE AND POLITICS

Humanities at Brighton welcomes students who are inquisitive and insightful. Our programmes in history of art and design and humanities offer courses that enable you to critically examine the world we have made for ourselves, through the study of design and visual culture, literature, history, philosophy and politics. Our approach to the humanities is distinctive and interdisciplinary, meaning that students explore several subjects in context with one another, developing historical, analytical and interpretive skills.

Students learn to present arguments and voice intellectual concerns, becoming accomplished presenters, debaters and listeners and develop skills in teamwork and critical thinking.

Learning in small seminar groups is at the heart of the humanities learning experience at Brighton and helps students find their own voice. Seminars are student-led and courses within the humanities programme focus on issues central to modernity, such as global conflict, sexuality, class and fundamentalism.

Our History of Art and Design, Visual Culture, and Fashion and Dress History courses include a placement option, providing experience and insight into museum, gallery and archival work.

History of Art and Design students consider topics including modern living and postmodernism, and culture and commerce, exploring the history of art and design around the world.

Seminar performance is assessed, you will also attend regular lectures and have one-to-one tutorials. In your final year you will complete a research project on a topic of your choosing, supported with one-to one supervision. Our humanities programme degrees share an ethos and structure, but each offers an individual critical approach.

A shared first year sees you studying core modules that develop the skills central to our courses. Then in year 2 you start to shape your course to your interests through a themed pathway choice, following this pathway for the rest of your degree and enabling a deep, critical engagement with the subject. The University of Brighton holds one of the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading library collections in the field of history of art and design and a rapidly growing collection of online books and articles for humanities study. Based at our site in central Brighton, students benefit from access to the internationally significant Design Archives, which includes the Design Council Archive, Screen Archives South East and The Dress and Textile Teaching collection.

Join the debate Scholars, politicians and writers contribute to our guest lecture programme each year, sharing their knowledge and experience, and sparking debate with our students. Humanities Society is run by students and hosts lectures, presentations and discussion with visiting philosophers and academics. Everyone is welcome to come along and join the debate.

Dr Annebella Pollen, Academic Programme Leader, History of Art and Design

Teaching students as an active researcher, writer and curator means letting students into the tricks of my trade. I love taking students to archives and museum collections of raw material and showing them how to cook these elements into finished pieces of writing or visual displays. Handling artefacts in the classroom has always been important to me; it is valuable to know how different materials feel, whether the focus is on fabrics or photographic formats.

01. Last year Emmy Sale was awarded an Association of Dress Historians 2018 Fellowship becoming the sixth student to gain the fellowship. The role included the promotion of the charity on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 02.

LITERATURE, LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS Our city has long celebrated the creative and the curious, and Brighton literature, language and linguistics courses provide the perfect environment and community in which to develop as a writer, researcher, thinker and individual. Shape your course to your interests The breadth of modules available to our literature, language and linguistics students means that you can shape your degree to suit your interests, exploring exciting new avenues, from journalism to research, writing for the stage to graphic novels. Field trips and projects Learning outside of the classroom is a regular feature for our students. Visits to cultural and historical exhibitions provide a fresh perspective, as do on-site projects within the local community and events. Visiting writers A programme of guest speakers enables students to meet and learn from professional writers who are successfully working as novelists, scriptwriters and authors.

Literary salons offer a great opportunity to hear from writers, editors and literary agents as they share anecdotes and advice. Visiting experts have included authors Wendy Jones and Araminta Hall, literary agent David Headley and publishing editor Candida Lacey. Every year we hold The Big Read in association with the Booker Prize Foundation, which encourages students of all subjects to read contemporary fiction. Every first year student is given a free Bookernominated novel and can join in activities including a visit from the author. Visiting authors have included Ali Smith and Mohsin Hamid. Share your work Students are encouraged to perform their work through open mic events and projects such as Brighton & Hove Arts Council Poetry competition and festival. Students like Veneta Neale and Sophie Baldock have been amongst the runners up in the student category.

Paying your tuition fee deposit

If you’re a self-funded international student starting a course with us in September 2020 you must pay your £3,000 tuition fee deposit by 31 August 2020. We need to receive your deposit before we can issue your CAS. You need a CAS number in order to make a visa application.

Accommodation guarantee

As an international student you’re guaranteed a place in university accommodation in your first year. All you need to do is make Brighton your firm choice and make your accommodation application by the deadline we tell you about.

Receiving your CAS number

Enrolment and registration

A CAS is a virtual document that the UK Home Office will view through a secure online system when you make your application for a student (Tier 4) visa. You will need the CAS number to make your visa application.

To complete enrolment you will need original documentation (not photocopies) confirming your identity including your passport and visa or biometric residence permit, entry qualifications and written confirmation of your scholarship or sponsor, if you have one.

In order to request your CAS number you’ll need to accept your unconditional offer, pay the tuition fee deposit (if required) and complete the visa questionnaire.

Applying for your visa

Our international student advisers are qualified to give advice and representation on UK immigration law. They will support you throughout the application process and can advise you on the requirements of obtaining a student visa (Tier 4 or short-term study), and how to apply. They can also advise you on making an application to extend your visa in the UK if necessary. For a step-by-step guide on how to apply for your visa visit www.brighton. ac.uk/immigration. For more information about student visas visit www.gov.uk/browse/visasimmigration/student-visas.

At the beginning of the academic year you will need to complete enrolment – this entitles you to attend your course, use university facilities and join the Students’ Union.

Personal details

We may need to ask you for further information before your enrolment can be completed. The university is registered with the Office of the Information Commissioner.

Entry requirements Your academic grades are important, but other things count too. We look at lots of factors to make sure that everyone is given an equal opportunity to show their achievements. Some students are also asked to take part in an interview or provide a portfolio. We consider all applications very carefully including personal statements, references and work experience, as well as exam results and predicted grades. Your academic qualifications

For information about the academic qualifications, any specific subjects and grades that you need and English language levels that you need to apply for each course visit our online course finder. www.brighton.ac.uk/courses

International qualification equivalencies

If you don’t have a UK qualification our international equivalency guides will help you to compare the grades of your home country qualifications to the UK grades listed as the entry requirements for your course. www.brighton.ac.uk/international/ country

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

If you don’t have the required academic qualifications or your grades are not high enough, you can take a university preparation programme at our oncampus International College (see page 110). When you successfully complete the programme you will be guaranteed a place on one of our courses. www.brighton.ac.uk/ubic

English language entry requirements

English language entry requirements Our degree courses are delivered and assessed in English. UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) and the university need you to meet their English language requirements for your chosen course. Check individual course information to confirm which English language entry requirements apply to you. UKVI requires prospective students who have not studied and been examined in English to provide evidence they have met the language requirement equivalent to CEFR B2 level to study at degree level and above with the university. We can accept a number of English language tests, as well as Secure English Language Tests (SELT). SELT results are only valid for two years from the time the test is taken. Evidence to satisfy this requirement must be provided before we can issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number. For a list of UK Home Office SELT visit www.gov.uk/tier-4-general-visa/ knowledge-of-english. Find out more about the English language tests that we accept, www.brighton.ac.uk/english-languagerequirements.

116

If your English language qualification is not listed on our website, contact us to find out if you are eligible for one of our courses, www.brighton.ac.uk/enquiries. For more information about UKVI requirements visit www.gov.uk/ukvi.

What if I don’t meet the English language requirements?

The University of Brighton Language Institute (see page 108) offers English language pre-sessional and pre-masters courses to help you meet our English language entry requirements and to prepare you for academic study at any UK university. www.brighton.ac.uk/learnenglish

Tuition fees for international students

Fees and funding Fees and costs It’s very important that you make sure that you have enough money to cover the cost of your tuition fees and living expenses before you begin your course. There’s lots more information about fees and finance on our website www.brighton.ac.uk/money. Tuition fees

The tuition fees shown in the table opposite are for international fee-paying students starting a standard university course for the first time in the academic year 2019–20. Some courses have non-standard fees. You can check the fees for your course by using our course finder. www.brighton.ac.uk/courses For costs for university preparation courses at our International College and the Language Institute go to page 110 and 108.

International student tuition fee deposit

If you’re a self-funded international student starting a course with us in September 2020 you must pay your £3,000 tuition fee deposit by 31 August 2020. Read more about the tuition fee deposit and refund policy at www.brighton.ac.uk/international/fees.

Paying your tuition fee

You can choose to pay your tuition fees either in full by 1 November, or in up to six instalments. You can pay online, by bank transfer or by recurring card agreement. Any payments not made in pounds sterling will incur bank charges that will be passed on to you. Contact the university’s finance department on income@brighton. ac.uk or +44 (0)1273 642959 for details about online or credit card payment or Western Union transfer.

Should I be paying international fees?

More help and advice

Self-funding international students who pay their annual fees in full before 1 November 2019 can apply for an early settlement fee rebate (eligibility conditions apply). We’ll confirm availability for 2020–21 on our website in autumn 2019. www.brighton.ac.uk/early-settlementdiscount If you’re not sure if you should pay fees at the international rate, we will contact you during the application process to complete a fee assessment form. All cases are judged in accordance with the UK government’s guidelines and are treated fairly and equally.

For more information, contact the admissions team on registryfeesassessment@brighton.ac.uk.

What’s included in my tuition fee?

Some courses require the use of specialist materials and field trips. Where these costs are incurred as a mandatory requirement of the course, they are covered by the tuition fee. Other additional costs may not be included in your tuition fee. Please check with the school that provides your course about possible additional costs before you apply so that you can budget accordingly.

General study costs

Whatever course you choose, you should expect to pay some additional study-related costs on top of tuition fees. It is a good idea to budget for the cost of books, photocopying and printing for example.

Your living costs will depend on where you choose to live and how you live. As a guide, we estimate that an international student living outside of London will need around £1,015 a month to meet basic living expenses such as accommodation, books and bills but not course tuition fees. www.brighton.ac.uk/ moneymatters www.moneysavingexpert.com/students www.nasma.org.uk/students https://international.studentcalculator. org

Alumni discounts

Graduates of the university can apply for a discount on their annual tuition fees if they’re a registered member of the University of Brighton Alumni Association. We’ll confirm availability for 2020–21 on our website in autumn 2019. You can combine this discount with the early settlement (subject to eligibility).

Just like the city we call home, the University of Brighton is a place where different perspectives meet. A place where opinions, ideas and visions of the world come together, feed off and inspire each other, and create something unique. In keeping with that spirit, we encourage our students to stay curious and explore. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the chance to shape your studies to your passions and interests, and take your learning in new and unexpected directions. And throughout, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help you to put what you learn into practice. We emphasise hands-on learning, have excellent connections to industry and business, and offer many placement, work experience and entrepreneurial opportunities. Explore the University of Brighton. Things look different from here.
