Types of course Honours degrees
These courses involve three or four years of full-time study leading to qualifications such as BA(Hons), BSc(Hons), BEng(Hons) and LLB(Hons). All of our full-time undergraduate students have the chance to do workrelated learning as part of their course.
Integrated foundation year
Our foundation years are a great way to prepare for a degree, if you don’t have the grades or specific subjects needed to apply or if you’ve just changed your mind on which subject to follow. The foundation is a one-year programme, integrated with a degree, that will help you develop the skills and knowledge needed to progress. You’ll find foundation programmes in these subjects in this prospectus, and loads more information online at www.brighton.ac.uk/courses. • Accounting, finance and economics, page 64 • Architecture, page 50 • Biological sciences, page 100 • Biomedical science, page 102 • Business and management, page 66 • Civil engineering, page 52 • Ecology and conservation, page 100 • Engineering, page 58 • Interior architecture, page 62 • Law, page 68 • Marketing, events and tourism, page 70 • Pharmacy, page 106 • Product design, page 62 • Sport and exercise, page 80
Integrated masters degrees
Some degree courses include additional masters-level study. These courses are four years long and are available in these subject areas: engineering (MEng), mathematics (MMath), pharmacy (MPharm), and science (MSci).
Top-up degrees
Top-up degrees are the way to convert your qualifications and experience into an honours degree. They generally take one year of fulltime study to complete but there are some that can be studied part-time while you are working.
Qualifications that count towards a top-up degree include the higher national diploma (HND), foundation degrees, professional qualifications or equivalent overseas qualifications. Find out more about top-up courses at www.brighton.ac.uk/courses.

Apprenticeships
We work closely with employers to develop higher and degree apprenticeships. These programmes are carefully structured to deliver nationally agreed Apprenticeship Standards, which set out the skills and attributes that employers have identified as necessary for a particular profession. An apprenticeship is a job with degreelevel study built in. As an apprentice, you would work for an employer in a relevant role during your apprenticeship with time allocated for learning that is linked to your job. Successful apprentices achieve a University of Brighton award such as a degree. We offer apprenticeships across these subjects – business and management; construction, engineering and the built environment; education; and health and social care. Find out more at www.brighton.ac.uk/apprenticeships.
Eva, pharmacy with foundation year If you’ve got your heart set on a subject but don’t think you’ll meet the entry requirements, look into doing a foundation year. It’s targeted towards the course you want to study, and they do say ‘uni days are the best days of your life’, so why not add an extra year!
