Junior Semester Abroad

Whether you’re a science major with a passion for photography, or a business student with an interest in psychology, our flexible Junior Semester Abroad (JSA) programmes allow you to build your own academic experience. And once you’ve successfully completed your class, your credits will be transferred back to your home university.

Tailored programmes

At Brighton you have the chance to shape your studies to your passions and interests. Before you even arrive in the UK we’ll work with you to help you choose from our available modules.

Throughout we’ll help you put what you learn into practice, so you’ll go home with practical as well as academic knowledge. • Choose from a wide range of subjects from English literature and economics to film studies and biology. • Get your completed credits transferred to your home university. • Study for one semester or a full academic year. For an up-to-date list of available modules visit www.brighton.ac.uk/studyabroad.

British Culture Module

You’ll have the opportunity to take the British Culture module as part of your programme. The class deepens your knowledge of British culture and history, complementing your experience of living here.

Accredited by your home university

Each semester you can choose up to four classes of ten credits. When you successfully complete a class you’ll receive a transcript from us and your credits will be transferred back to your home university. All classes are subject to availability. That’s why we always advise students to have between six to eight modules preapproved by their university to allow for flexibility.

Inspiring teaching

At Brighton you’ll learn from lecturers, technicians and visiting experts who love their subject, and who combine their teaching with practice and research. Every year our teaching and student support staff receive more than 1,000 nominations in the Brighton Students’ Union Excellence Awards.

Specialist facilities

Our equipment and facilities replicate industry and professional environments, giving you the chance to work in realistic situations. We’re constantly improving our buildings, making them more enjoyable places to learn and more environmentally sustainable. Our libraries are spread across our university locations, so you’re always close to the specialist resources you need.
